A Modest Proposal (Meter Discussion)

[rayheinrich]

...  I feel the world has enough poems that are chiefly about the misery
and importance of the person writing them. ...

No, not enough, not yet, or, for that matter, ever and ever!

As long as there's a tiny little crack of a fissure inversely wedged between
misery and import, there's some of us out here trolling in the hinterlandishness
of consequence that are willing to rise above our various assorted, mixed, and
somewhat contradictory æsthetics and sundry principles to supply you with the
mortar that forms the much-denied buttock of your arrogantly poeticized
world-viewishness.

Ha! Take that you superficially erudite phallocentrists; the fundamentally
crucial importance of bottoms is one that even Leanne* wouldn't deny!

*Though, come to think of it, Leanne has never been that much of a bottom denier.
Actually, come to think of it again, she's pretty much always embraced them.
