    Ms. Naskova works in a reality and truth that never ceases to amaze me.

    Elena; You've written this proof -simplicity brings wonder-!
    _Your words are... sort of a human metaphrast: We often take the back-roads... standing clear of the traffic's stress.

    Magyar, what is a metaphrast? I looked the word up in two dictionaries and was unable to find it. Help, please.

    Judith,
    _A writer that changes their written form to reach the same vision. [i.e. prose to verse]
    _In Elena's wonderful vision, the gull wanted the water sans the stormy waves... it changed the form to reach a desired result.
    _Another road.
    _m

    A party responding to this daily haiku wants to know the definition of the word "metaphrast". It may be found by searching One Look Dictionary the Internet location of which is available via an Internet search engine. One Look Dictionary is a real time-saver.
