on the other hand, if a poem has been shaped to represent its subject, it has in all probability been altered.{smile}

My tree poem "Photo Sin Thesis" had to be trimmed a bit, no doubt!

As Addisonian was an AWAD not so long ago, here is an article from the Spectator by Addison on these poems, the earliest known examples of which are by the Greek poet Simmias of Rhodes and date back to 324 BC. Addison didn't think much of them, by the way. http://harvest.rutgers.edu/projects/spectator/text/may1711/no58.html Bingley

Oh! The article mentions one of our own!! "The Sheperd's Pipe may be said to be full of Musick, for it is composed of nine different Kinds of Verses, which by their several Lengths resemble the nine Stops of the old musical Instrument, [that [2] ] is likewise the Subject of the Poem. [3]"
Coo-ool!
