The difference between abstract poetry and writing with abstractions

[rayheinrich]

Dame Edith was a class act -- an artist to the core, and absolutely devoted to perfecting her technique. Though fairly abstract, this has enough linked parts to build an entire picture. Beautiful.

"codas" is the only abstraction I see.

Codas are bearlike arboreal Australian marsupials that have thick gray fur
and feed on eucalyptus leaves; and, while they might seem a bit abstracted at times,
are perfectly capable (should meet with their dislike) of taking off a finger or two.
