David-
You protest to much, consider the implications: Are
all dictionaries to be banned from the poets perview?
what if there is a word I would like to use but I feel
unsure of its meaning?, what if there is a meaning to
a word I am unaware of and someone reading it points
the meaning out does the poet stamp and say NO THAT IS
NOT WHAT 'I' MEAN.
For myself a computers is like a toy, just as the
child needs the stick in the right shape to
imaginatively become the soldier or the dolly to
become a mother so I use a computer to give me words
that force me imaginatively into a language situation.
For I see poetry as grown up play, it is the
equivalence for me of dressing up in other clothes, if
this is childish or childlike, and I don't see a
difference, I happily take the criticism or the
praise. Part of a poets business is to suprise a
computer or a word list makes to suprise myself.
sorry.
I take it you didn't like the poem with a's in then?
