Oh, yeah. As an example:I remember one textbook I picked up in the last
half of the last century. It was very modern in its approach to verse.
First, it ignored rhythm / meter completely. Second, it pontificated
that rhyme was good only for humorous effect; and the one example of
rhyme it cited was Ogden Nash.

Be that as it may, I'm glad to have his poetry on the blog. This debut
is a bit out of the ordinary -- it reads like a love poem he dashed off
to his wife, whether he did or whether he designed it that way (probably
the latter, since his wife was born in March).
