I don't believe in writing a poem, and then writing about the poem. Poetry should be an experience, and despite my literary asperations, I don't think poetry should be analyzed or explained, other than perhaps a note on a reference or two for the unenlightened. Anything more, to me, is like trying to dissect a butterfly to find out what makes it pretty. You can analyze pigmentation and biological patterns until you've got a Ph.D. for it, but the butterfly isn't going to be fluttering around any more.
That said, I've decided to organize the poetry archived here as a tool for myself. There are general categories of form and subject; think of them as species if you will. I'll be gentle with the pins.
