I liked the first (the omitted) discussion, but this one really made me 
think.  Poetry
*would* allow some freedom with forms like paraphrastics, so maybe my initial 
thinking
isn't so far off.  Anyway, I don't even care to analyze poetry in the 
English, so I am
really in deep kimchee here!

Thanks,
