I noted how much time I spend on each word in the revision process. Bill, satirically or not, had the idea of revising each letter by purposely misspelling words for greater meaning. So we may be in for some strange stuff. <br /><br />I want to add just one little thing I like about this poem (among many). It may not be noticeable on first reading—that's not true. It <b>is</b> noticeable on first reading, but may not be recognized. And that is the use of the dactyl (opposite of anapest) foot. <br />"Have you noticed I'm fading away?" where the language fades away as it does for every line. Compare that to "You should but note I'll fade away."James Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871338738388893364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808227584959676379.post-3137949838352919062013-12-16T15:12:23.623-05:002013-12-16T15:12:23.623-05:00The more I read this the more I like it.The more I read this the more I like it.James Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871338738388893364noreply@blogger.com
