[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Thanks you. I now have confirmation from a second expert that writing deliberately bad poetry is hard for a good poet to do.

I will credit you in the footnotes. :)

By now the stuff almost writes itself.

I have to be careful that I don't lapse into iambic in ordinary conversation.

That's why I try to key it around an idea. Most of my stuff has some kind of a point to illustrate, sometimes more than one.

I seldom craft something that doesn't have at least one hidden message. It's my way of getting people to read my words closely.

Then, to avoid being hoist by my petard, I have to scrutinize what everyone else writes. That's why I pounce on typos and such.

Eventually, when I run out of rhymes, I'll become an editor.
