"120 'Schoolboyish" Petrarchan Sonnets" is a collection composed in a rather basic manner that essentially consisted of starting with a first word and then 'merely running' with that same word.

The aforementioned schoolboyish aspect of the entire collection should not at all detract from a sense that a sonnet can be very narrow and also highly ornate. The various individual examples may seem to veer here, there, and practically everywhere in terms of possible 'meanings'; meanwhile, each sonnet may be in strict keeping or almost strict keeping with the apparently preferred formulaics of...

"140 Shorties" has a way of bobbing and weaving along, from item to item. Each versification is truly brief, relatively speaking -- no longer, usually, than about 35 words. A special little approach or 'recipe'] was used in terms of the actual composition of the entire aggregation, so, for one thing, an evident rhyming between some titles might very readily be seen to exist.

Maybe about half of the included 140 pieces are rhymed and about half unrhymed. Aspects of rhythm may be detectable, but blatant meter generally seems unlikely. Here are a couple of perhaps representative samples:

"140 Shorties II More Verse Bits]" may be something of an added insistence, or infliction, in the world. The collection's essential motif, which is of a quasi-form that includes evidently interlocking aspects in terms of titles that often blatantly rhyme with each other, might seem hopelessly ingrown and juvenile. The ultimate effect, despite any apparent expressed and re-expressed sadness or misery, is likely to be a very playful back-and-forth sort of thing.

The individual versifications, which sometimes internally rhyme and sometimes don't rhyme, and which seldom evince anything very...

"140 SHORTIES III" might seem to be positing, over and over, the possibility of magnificence in a relatively trivial and silly private format. That format not only includes relative brevities. It also includes clumps of titles that rhyme with each other and includes a rather special back-&-forth way of moving from one versification to the next.

The entire group of 140 pieces ultimately must be more of a verbal success than that same group ever could be any fount of real news or of anything like real 'info'. The following couple of examples might seem about averagely illustrative:

"LIFT...

"250 Recent (And Overly Decent?) Limericks" is an evidently protracted attempt. The attempt is toward something like formal excellence. The form-in-question is (let's say) valid English, whereas the limerick form remains merely adventitious. Here beneath are a couple of sample limericks-and don't they manage to sweep along somewhat ridiculously? HELLO Hello and good-bye, little world of seeming to stay boyed and girled in manners and fashions whose finite new passions invite each ripe dream to seem swirled. GUITARS Guitars were restrumming themselves while waiting for happier shelves than...

"ESSAYS OF MULTIPLE SORTS" is a not entirely forgivable foray into bits and pieces of serious horsing-around on some very verbal kinds of levels. The main possible defect or deficiency, stylistically, could be in terms of some somewhat quirky uses of, as well as some very "special" nonuses of, commas.

Aggregately, the aggregated matter might seem (if not instructive) marvelously fruity and fruitful-or such. [[The opening offered item is perhaps quotidian and bizarre dialogue
(({X: Your shoes resemble mine.
Y: Mine are like yours.
Z: Mine are close kin to any.
A: Why are...

"222 FREE-VERSE **Bits**" only slightly may fail to be absolutely in any and every generally perceived as 'normal' tradition of modern Free Verse. The individual offerings are, on a sort of average, quite, quite brief. Rhyme definitely 'intrudes' sometimes, but Meter really and truly seems highly toward absolutely ruled out.

William Shakespeare's TWELFTH NIGHT Re-done] is a very diligent attempt to put into 'Modern Dress' Shakespeare's original play. The process was arduous, and it involved trying to retain Shakespearean form at least hugely. One salient (and silly?) deviation from basic faithfulness could be the apparently capricious altering of 'the Elephant' to 'Camel's Inn.'] A quite pervasive idea in terms of all practical considerations was something very much like the careful restoration of an old photograph or an old painting. After all, Shakespeare lived near London over 400 years ago, and his language...
