Poetry and innovation

[milo]

Blake had pictures
Eliot had allusion
Hopkins rediscovered sprung rhythm

You did that with entre chien et loupe I suppose

lol - yah, I was going to ask exactly what the challenge was - I did it with entre chien et loup twice, once when I was first starting to write so it is a piece of juvenalia but perhaps I can post it and we can all work on bringing it up to modern standards.

Also, if you read my poem "fathers" it was created around the Spanish idiom al pan pan y al vino vino
