| = I know you did... | Ioana Pelehatai [15.Aug.04 12:23] |
| I've been reading all of your poems, and despite this one being less recent than others I have decided to make it my favourite. I must begin by saying that I was somewhat intrigued by your mastery of rhythm & rhyme, which had something antiquated to them (this I do not mean in a negative way at all). Then I discovered your entries of William Blake and that fact in itself shed some light on your particular style. Coming back to this poem, however, I confess to liking it for its ironic and deprecating tinge, for its alert & sardonic tone and, most of all, for its brilliant ending. One minor observation, though: you employ the word "greed" as a verb; it, however, is purely a noun. Not that this slight poetic license would deter too much from the remarkable overall effect... | |
