for the record,
i accept bibilical poetry as standard biblical hebrew.
i accept narrative as standard biblical hebrew.
(of course there are examples of diachronic growth/dialectec spread
throughout the hebrew bible, but they are controllable or marginalizable.)

if you know hebrew you can read the poetry with understanding.
but if you don't know hebrew the often ambiguous contexts of poetry
will allow all manners of silly things to be said.
so the problem isn't hebrew poetic grammar, and certainly not 2 'grammars'
of it, but the misuse of it.
