Of these, they say, there are no substitutes, Pentameter of seven proves less rare! see line 2 above. “It only has seven syllables, but it’s an iambic pentameter.”

But the snippets rather raise a series of questions. Was there dancing later? Did the scattered couplets poem perhaps adhere to the Olsonian notion of composition by field? Who is Richard Wilbur? Has a man ever contributed to a women's poetry timeline? Wasn't there a Rock n Roll song composed according to the Single-Syllable SHOUT method? Did the loved one really look great? Finally, in the firmament of poetry conferences what are the lat/long coordinates so that I can enter them into my GPS device. I almost forgot. Was the fiddler's name Nero and were there any fires on the premises? Terreson Chuckling here. But the snippets rather raise a series of questions.
