Tarnish. When has a poem lost its luster?

Who holds the gauge? Who reads the meter? Who has the inside track on fashion, on window treatments?



Taste is a subset of fashion. Though sheen never goes out of fashion, it is the first to depart the fresh. Think fish. Is scale akin to rhyme?

    cold waters keep fresh
    those who walk in winter sun--
    all gates open wide
