Hi Laurel--epi____ I just typed in what you had, I think. But, I didn't mean the London lines embedded in the poem, Laurel...they make the poem, I think. Riposte it in a day; it was quite engaging...I guess I prefer this sort of writing over your otherwork, but I'm an oddball. You can call me usher...hey we're reading Virginia Wolfe in class--thought i mention it for no reason whatever.

Take care,

Epigraph? Or epigram? Which is correct? I used
: to call them epigraphs exclusively until
: someone said, no, no, it's epigram. Argh. I
: just went to the dictionary. I hate when
: people talk me out of what I know. Epigraph.
: Why on earth did I accept epigram as
: correct. Honestly, I'm shockingly stupid. My
: driver's license has my height as 5'10"
: because some dummy insisted that I had to be
: 5'10" because he insisted he was
: 5'9". And I, dummy that I am, believed
: him. Never bothered to measure myself until
: well after the fact.

: Dumb, dumb, dumb. Sigh.

: The whole epigraph issue is extremely touchy
: with me right now, Asher. Almost called you
: Usher. (smile) I feel compelled to include
: them especially when they're the impetus for
: a poem. It's a way of nodding to the source
: of inspiration. When you say remove the
: epigraphs---plural---do you mean omit all of
: the London lines within the poem? Not sure
: the poem could stand on its own without
: them.

: Heck, if I lost you...then I done lost the
: poem. You're a good reader. If I'm losing a
: reader who reads as closely and carefully as
: you....then all hope is lost.

: Probably should've resisted the urge to post
: this. Went off on a tangent and hit post too
: quickly. I should learn to keep this crap to
: myself. (smile)

: Thanks for reading me, Asher.
