Excellent, poetry needs more people with scientific training.
Logical analysis is integral to critique, as far-too-many poems lack a logical structure.
While linear narrative is totally unnecessary (none usually being the best choice);
illogical connections, inaccurate meanings, and just plain old slushing-about are all too common.
And on the writing side of it, it's vital. For poems to communicate, the need to contain information
(even if  encrypted).
PigPen is one of the few places on the internet where your poems can get a peer (or better) revue.
