Question: Now that we are getting into the meat of the matter, what exactly is poetic morphology!?

SIGNING OFF
It never occurred to me,
or the cigar store Indian,
the TV test pattern and tone,
back when the world's all black and white,
was anything more than an intricate
pen and ink rendition
used to test the clarity of the signal!.
Socio-symbology aside, who ever wore
a cooler hat than the Cherokee!?

Most of the civilised tribes of the Southern confederacy were similar, Creek and Cherokee, my folks, more so than others!. I always thought the Osage with their otterskin caps were the coolest, but the folds of ours showed up better in the test pattern!. I suspect in poetic morphology you refer to things like rhyme scheme and placement of line, things editing programs don't do too well on!. Sometimes I'd write in a spiral if it would be allowed in our morphology!. A!.E!. Housman did interesting things with breaks and caps!.
I'm not one, albeit a hermeneutic phenomenologist, to separate form and function, but believe both reside within the phenomenon as it presents itself!. It is our means of intuiting poetry, as metaphor, rhyme, metre, and general form!. The phenomenal epoché, an initial step in interpretation makes the function of the form readiliy apparent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What is sad, is either that I know exactly what you are talking about!.!.
or that most of the 'younger' generation won't have a clue!.
How well I remember that pattern!.!.!.

The apache ceremonial headdress had to be the most elaborate of all!. Are we studying the poetic morphology of a particular word, or the poem as a whole!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
Are you sure it was a Cherokee!? I don't remember that although the drawing with headdress was impressive!. In today's 'enlightened' society, that symbol would not last long!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
Most of the time that was the best part of the TV day, except for Howdy Doody and Uncle Milty!
I've been looking on the net!.!.!.I now know poetry is more complex than astro-physics!Www@QuestionHome@Com
77 years ago I was too dead to see in black and white!.
I do have a cool pinch bill cowboy hat though!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
Speaking of morphology, could you make this into a geom!?
It would be a gem!.

My Stretch Armstrong had a much cooler hat!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
