This is all very interesting, but my prediction was about which poems
you would agree as being excellent, not which poems you would agree
were not. There is quite a difference between the former and the
latter. And I posit as evidence pretty much every conversation on this
list since I first started reading it. If you start agreeing regularly
it will be an amazing change from the past won't it? What
characterizes this list more thoroughly than Bob's naysaying of poems
submitted by others and championing of poems that almost no one seem
to like?
You'll need to do a few poems to start meaning anything significant...
interesting that so far none of the dullard post avant poems have come
up, nor visual poetry, nor anything the list bit controversial.
Choosing Shakespeare, Housman and some craptacular poem that could
have come from any 8th grade workshiop seems a bit like stacking the
deck.
But carry on. It is nice to see talk about poems here. I'll check back
in a few weeks and see what happened.
