Triptych

[milo]

Yeah it's just bunged together, let all hang out, free verse. Like you say it's not even English, or any language.

It's not like I've applied what Judith Gick, one of the most influential Shakespearean and classical teachers of the 20th century, taught me about spoken verse, phrasing, pacing, meter etc. I mean why would I? When the dithyrambs can be turned into anapests for dramatic effect, and the variations mished and mashed, to create mono-tonal uniformity.

How dare i write piece not intended to lie decorously on the page, but to take breath and be heard in a declamatory style. The shame of it.

Hey, it's your poem, if you're happy with it that's fine, you don't need to make up stories. If you want, I could do an actual scan of the first few lines for you or at least point you in the direction of some threads on English meter or blank verse.
