RE: Take care an object not thyself o'ercomes — (poem and analysis)

@d-pend,

Excellent poem and great analysis. A lot of work went into this post. You are most definitely A-Team.

Respecting "feet" ... I ignore them completely. The French simply count syllables when writing poetry and I do the same in English. In his early career, Shakespeare was disciplined about the syllable (foot) count but as he got older, he became less dogmatic and used whatever worked best. What's good enough for Will is good enough for me.

Dan, join PHC.
