I began this poem a little differently than how it is now. It began with the first line of every stanza coming second, and the second coming first. The third line would be after the fourth too. I hope you understood that. But once I read over the poem, I thought it would work the way it is now too. So I decided to ask your opinion. If you would take the time to read it the way it is, and then read it with the first line second, the second line first, the third line fourth, and the fourth line third, that would be great! Please comment on which you liked better.

Long and untended,
Wind caressing grass.
Blue and soft,
Sky, clear as grass.

Long and deep,
Wagon tracks cut,
Cozy and warm,
Safe little hut.

Friendly and kind,
Neighbors come to stay.
Laughing and dear,
Children bright and gay.

Small and happy,
Village now appears.
Content and glad,
Nothing much to fear.

Cheery and merry,
Just a little town,
Sad and hurt,
Seldom to be found.

Hurry and bustle,
Busy, lively city.
Wet and foul,
Now fairly gritty.

Sunny and gay,
That beautiful prairie,
Dark and bleak,
Now rather eerie.
