I oppose the fasting for four reasons, - WBY
I have four reasons for this. It is called alliteration, assonance, rhyme and metre. Take "oppose" the long O, notice how many times in the first stanza of "Roman Holiday" it occurs This guy could give lessons. He has already did for me. So unless you feel you've mastered these four things, it will be worth your time to visit his seven poems.
He has a few other tricks, "fasting for four reasons" , the change of a letter has an important effect, glancing over one almost expects "seasons", the change takes it out of the realm of tired language,
One of the things about growth is the recognition someone does something better than you. These are four major things this guy does better than me. (and probably most)
As for our disagreements, WBY, I have my reasons, and with what I do, I am very good at.
Go, go check this guy out. It is always the poetry that counts, a major part of poetry is craft.
Was I right?
