First, I totally agree with your short list of Poems that could fall under the category of Perl Poetry. The illustrations that I gave were merely representative of the sub-genre that I believed the poet was trying to use.

Secondly, I will ammend the statement from my previous post to say that "I definately should have been more detailed in my response." Criticism is pointless unless it is constructive, intended to either point out possible flaws in logic construction imagery or grammer, and how to correct them; or to suggest possible improvements in the same... all with the understanding that as a reader one may not know the authors thoughts and suggestions, and hence one's suggestions may not be applicable at all.

Instead, the poem struck me as poor, and without analyzation or suggestion, I made a comment, that while not intended to be mean, was certainly negative. I hope that my second comment made up for that by pointing out exactly what I thought was wrong, and by implication how to correct it.

AgentKelly, I apologize for that first post.
