This is why I don't list error free poems (or posts) as a rule!<BR/><BR/>Sometimes for me the clever lines occur where the poem turns or at the end. So it's easy for me to see if that line is paying off or not. Yes, sometimes the clever line has got to go.Januaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036651950996873368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-24933555451626189102008-08-17T11:51:00.000-04:002008-08-17T11:51:00.000-04:00And this is why I leave rhyming to talented poets ...And this is why I leave rhyming to talented poets like you!
