i agree, i read a lot of what he said but it sounded to perfect for me, too clinical.
i'm pretty much uneducated myself. i'd have thought syntax; be it poetry syntax or normal language syntax are pretty much the same, but even if they're not, they do have to do the job of syntax. to do other wise would ,make poetry and language in general a ball ache to read, and even comprehend. most languages have some kind of meter, or rhythm, i know the Philippine language does. if we can communicate, we can and often do so with the aid and use of meter.
funny how most songs use meter and often poetic form as well as rhythm and rhyme but everyone sings happily along and say ooooh and aaaaar. (sp) meter is inherent in the english language. isn't it?
