Paraphrasing a poem

[ellajam]

This poem was new to me, while Leanne took care of business a simple google brought plenty to complete  the assignment and was an interesting read. One site said the poem was originally 20 lines, interesting.
And some sites included Pound's own insights into the poem.
Thanks, aaron, I hope you learned as much as I did.
And thinking short meant easy was funny, hope you learned your lesson there.
Ha, just remembered I recently picked up an old Selected Poems of Pound, guess I'll read it.

Rumour has it that Pound considered it a sonnet. The first 8 words are the octet, the turn occurs and the last 6 are the sestet.

It is also one of the most important poems of the 20th century and considered the definition of the imagist movement. I believe it shows its face in several different spots on this very site.

I'm gonna poke around, see if I can find what people have to say.
