I am free and I can rhyme and Socrates. That's all your poem says over a program of some kind of form. I don't have room in my mind to remember how old I am all the time since nothing exciting ever happens, let alone the names of foreign poetry forms. . . . In a disconnected enterprise, you say the same thing over and over. You repeat that you're capable, but the reader learns nothing, and there are no examples, no experience: unless you've found peace, that boring concept. Like the poem says. That's all it says. It only says that: what it says. The worst thing is that the title, posted in the Novice forum, made me expect exactly this. It lacks any surprise or, again, any experience.
