Most people can't tell now who wrote what. I like that blurring of identities within the band. because it becomes a unified thing that can't be related to other forms of historical poetry.
I believe that all poetry is formal in that it exists within limits limits that are either inherited by tradition or limits that language itself imposes.
Poetry is the art which is technically within the grasp of everyone: a piece of paper and a pencil and one is ready.
If epic poetry is a definite species the sagas do not fall within it.
In fact in lyric poetry truthfulness becomes recognizable as a ring of truth within the medium itself.
I sometimes talk about the making of a poem within the poem.
I am running for President of the United States to enable the Goddess of Peace to encircle within her arms all the children of this country and all the children of the world.
If our nation goes over a financial Niagara we won't have much strength and eventually we won't have peace. We are currently borrowing the entire defense budget from foreign investors. Within a few years we will be spending more on interest payments than on national security. That is not as our military friends say a 'robust strategy.'

I find peace anywhere I go. It depends on what is within the walls of my own home.
