words are wasted to
make lines work; a poetic
form doomed to failurewords wasted to fill
out lines, a poetic form
reduced to white noiseto fill the lines words
are wasted, a poetic
form of impotencetoo many words just
for the count, poems flabby with
verbiage, leakinga poet adds words
to force lines, sheer chaos, you
don't get your wordsworth
