GOD!
I have brain ach!

Your articles about poetry are truly great, but I need to read them very slowly and with a lot of breaks. There are so many things I don't know!

Well, your articles are hardly poetry for dummies (though they are taking into consideration the reader's totale ignorance), so it's taking me awhile to learn and understand the usage of all those theories.
After I've read your article- "What is poetry", an idea came to mind that I'll attempt to scan my old poem, or try fitting them into formulas and see what difference does it makes in the way they look and how people read and refer to them.

In the modern hebrew poetry I've read there's hardly any kind of meter or rhyme, and if there is it's hardly felt, but then, you can write anything in hebrew and it'll turn out awsome, seriously.

I have a deep appreciation to the freedom of the free form- it's like words flying in the sky, as opposed to structures that preen the words in cages.
Ah, well. Learning is not always fun, and old habits die hard.

As to this article, I too think that meter is incredibly important. I like to play with the length of lines in my free form poems in order to creat an interesting reading experience and enhance certain paragraphs by making them shorter/longer than the rest.
I think I've caught the difference between full rhyme and half-rhyme, but "crown-pawn" still sounds like a full rhyme to me so maybe I didn't get the parameters?

And just when I thought poetry analysis cannot possibly be any more complex, I read you article about scansions. I didn't finish that one yet.

Thank you for publishing those articles, making all this knowledge so readily available.
This is just my half-way-through review, as I intend to read all your articles about poetry, just thought I'd stop by to ask and comment. You might have to experience my prattle again some time in the future.

Have a nice day,
Einav.
