Poeming and Sailing It is a daring venture into the winds and wiles of passing Trimming fat off thought like one would tighten angle to the breeze Faint heart shuns the lean like words that cut to truth But boat and book ne'er come to strong except to take the tack. |
Additional Notes:
Ahh, what nasty wind that blows none well.

JCH,
Another strong offering to the process of seeking poetic perfection. I love "the lean." A wonderful . . . metonymy? I think that's the word. The overarching metaphor, poeming as sailing, is that type of building upon a tradition of imagery and genius that i spoke of in my other critique of one of yours.
It is indeed a voyage we are on.
