"Keep the line (which has movement)
from breaking down and becoming
a hole into which we sink
decoratively to rest" (W.C.Williams)
after which I've heard myself say:
If the poem doesn't have action in the lines
it doesn't have much.
[to the tune of the Sibelius 4th on CBC]
as if poems should have.

Nice. I love that pic of you! Makes me want to read some Poe.
Winnie the Poe? Very, very dark.
