I wouldn't have gotten that but that's my ignorance about Plath.

If I could find fault with this, I'd be a professor.
That's a compliment, Sir.

Been busy lately, couldn't get round to the ranker.
Obviously not the way I was going, (though I did miss my mark ) there's potential here.
Drop- Then the, as the, hot brakes, until, a sign, fuck it.
condense the jake line and the following line. Make jake a capital OR a corporation.

allow me to continue being nitty. -and- closing of the door?
I'm only trying to find ways to improve this- if that is even possible. I think it pretty much does what it's supposed to.

In another edit I've condensed the opener into two lines, and the closer into two lines. Also contemplating replacing -cat- with -engine.

Ok. So I'm making a connection between dung beetles and humans, but not much else. What is the technical description of an Englyn? Welcome to Das 'Ranker!

It's poets.org. Then click on Highlights (left column)Then click "poets forum" in the article beginning.
The video is: Robert Hass on the Gift Economy.

I sense expectation of death in the first two stanzas. Um, I'm not going to comment just yet. I think there's more you want to say. Let it ferment, C.

No. I tend to shy away from calling myself that. Essentially, I'm practicing poetry. It's something that keeps my thoughts from getting too soaked from the mundane. Some say we shouldn't compare. I do. I look at what I've written, try to find things to correct, post, revise, and when it seems I'm getting high marks, I look at the many pots on my bookshelf and ask myself if what I've written would stand up to their scrutiny. Usually the answer is no. The upside is, this method usurps 'Mage. Heh.
Who are you reading currently? What is their country of origin?
I'm trying out Hart Crane. Way over my head. But 3 years ago, So was O'hara. I think I can read him now.
