I haven't had time to study these yet so this is just a superficial impression. I have written syllabic poems--not consciously derived from Greek forms-- and I came to the conclusion that they were at best a gimmick in English. Not in languages which don't depend on stress but in English they are like a photographic negative.
I accept exceptions to this but in general I believe this is so.
I wish I spoke Greek. Most forms come alive in their own language.
I will read these with great interest and, I hope, an open mind. Thank you for the terrific templates.
