&lt;P&gt;Sorry - I'm particularly inexpert in evaluating poetry, but I'm rather enamoured with it - particularly the 1st and 3rd verses.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I enjoyed the structured lack of flow throughout - an arhythmic rythm.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>oh my, oh my</title><link>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/222187.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 15 Aug 2007 10:45:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8e55aff1-63ee-4857-a1e9-69fccb83d317:222187</guid><dc:creator>persephone</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/222187.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=3000063&amp;PostID=222187</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;The fact that I'm laughing must say something for it . . . .&lt;/P&gt;
