How can the literary talent on this list let this (accidental?) tribute to
Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" pass in silence? Let's hear some
metrically and technologically appropriate completions.
Oh, bravo, Carlo! I missed it entirely, being so preoccupied with trying
to understand the programming logic. Too addle-witted right now (town
council meeting ran til after midnight last night, then up 'betimes' to
write it up), but I will give it some thought. Reminds me of a passage I
once came upon, editing a wildlife book, in which the author
unwittingly fell into verse when describing some shorebirds' activities
on a beach--a suitable subject for verse in any case, but this was
supposed to be straight natural history.
As I've remarked before, it's VERY easy to fall into blank verse,
will-one, nill-one.
