  A Feminine Riposte
to X.J. Kennedy




in RealAudio format.

     

  
  
         Meter
         Is the thrust rest thrust of loins and peter
         And rhyme,
         To come at the same time.
              —from "Two Views of Rhyme and Meter"

  
  Measure
  Is the stress unstress of want and pleasure;
  And rhyme,
  To do it one more time.
