| Sea Hag by Elzie Segar |
And now for something completely different, a poem:
Farm Implements and Rutabagas in a Landscape by John Ashbery. (Please follow the link for the full text). It's a
sestina, a complex form in which six selected words are repeated six times each at the end of a line in a prescribed rotating order in six stanzas of six lines each, followed by a three line envoi using all six words. The repeated words in Ashbery's poem are thunder, apartment, country, pleasant, scratch and spinach. Don't miss the poet's reading of it
here.
