You know what? I was going to argue with you about it, but it turns out, while I disagree with your second definition, I don't disagree with your second example, and would only be proving it by arguing.

"Cue" vs. "Queue":

I know you're not "blindly" going about consuming all of these; I assume you've been rigorous in finding out how they all work for you.

I disagree with gifting 13 books of a 14-book series, especially when the 14th book will come out a few weeks later.

"Why is the government concerned with the safety of its citizens?"

So, if you're deliberately putting yourself in a position that makes you more likely to be seriously injured, insurance won't pay if/when you get injured?

Wait, let me get your logic here.

The Vorlons and the Shadows think of themselves as the self-appointed guardians of the younger races.

Oh, and I forgot to mention one thing, reiterating from the other thread.

Good, we're down to one thread. That's useful.

One more thing (from the Tails warning page - see the part about "contextual identities"): If you don't want two accounts associated with each other, reboot your completely anonymous operating system between logging off from one and logging into the other. Tor tends to reuse the same pathways, and if traffic to two…

"So you are saying that the language something is composed of is not inherently poetic, no matter what the piece of literature is?"

As I said in my earlier reply in the other thread, I am not going to do an exhaustive sorting of every work into "prose" or "poetry."

"The shake-to-shuffle feature would be most useful when you're running."

The first one is clearly poetry, because the layout of the words themselves are a structure contrived to convey the poem's central meaning - that of "loneliness" - The fragments of the word "loneliness" are separated and fragmented by spacing and fragments of other words to create an impression of loneliness. That is…

"You suggest that normal speech, or well-written prose, does not contain meter, rhyme, etc. and that poetry cannot contain sentences or paragraphs."

And to be snarky and misinterpet you the way you misinterpreted me, "So poetry cannot be in the form of a play? Have you ever seen a play?"

EE Cummings wrote poetry; let me give you an example of why "A Pretty A Day" is poetry.

This work contains a beginning, middle, and end.

There has to be some objective standard as to what is a poem, and what is prose.
