In regard to "banned" words, a poet should never ever let himself be guided
by such nonsense. Why on earth in this rich world of language with all its
sound and connotations would a poet follow anything like word burning. Ban
"moist"? This would be like telling a painter not to use burnt sienna. A pox on
the list makers! I am anxious to see one of these lists for I plan on writing
a long poem using every one of these words! Perturbed, Sue
