The section as a whole is about the coming of spring; this is a stanza from the middle of it. The lines beginning with periods are meant to be indented, which I can't seem to do properly with this editor.



The thing with this stanza is ... between the alliteration, the rhyme scheme, the caesuras that come and go precisely as he bids them, the meter that constantly shifts and yet is somehow perfectly right and patterned, the ever-varying patterns of sound repetition, and the stunning control of speed and tension, it would take me half a day just to say what he's doing. How does a man get the vision and proficiency to imagine that and to execute it? I think I've done something clever when I find a meter that isn't a grotesque mis-match to my feeling - one meter, with which I plod carefully and stolidly through my poem. His meter is the most brilliant, exuberant, delightful thing I think I've ever seen. What I wouldn't give to have the talent to do that.

I'm going to have to delve further into him. Thank you.

Two differences between us and the GB...

1) our isolated blurt thread has lost sight of the isolation factor...

2) we like each other enough that no one cares...

I need to do better when it comes to these things.

I think I found myself in a catch 22. I've come to the conclusion that I am a very harsh taskmaster when it comes to myself, and I need to give myself a break every now and then. While I'm learning how to do this, I can't find a balance.

I'm not sure if I gave myself the lesiure of not obsessing about this, or if my fear of failure impeded my progress. Either way, waiting this long is stupid. :rolleyes:
 
I promise, no more today.
I'll find something else to do to keep my mind clear.

I have some stories started, I'll look at those or read a book or watch something on tv. I'll keep busy and try to get to bed early. Okay? Deal.
