Dear Bob tried to send this Bc no luck -to me it seems pretentious academic
rambling -striving to be meaningful -but then it's probably just over my
poor head! and I should not have risked offending ! it's too easy on these
sites just to say sweet nothings

the luminescence of the ice skates
lying where poetry in English
made its first major ascent
I'd greatly appreciate feedback as to whether or not
1. it works as a poem?
2. what it means as a critical statement about the history of poetry in
English is clear?
3. its meaning as a critical statement (if clear) makes sense?
It is intended to be both poem, albeit a (very minor) poem-within-a-
larger-poem, and a critical statement.
