[net.poems] Formless poetry

Poems are not meant to be read, but remembered?  

I dunno.  I dunno if you can classify poetry that way.  I like different
poems for different reasons.  Sometimes I like the ingenious use of words
and phrasings; sometimes I like the rhythm and rhyme; sometimes I like
the imagery and emotional evocation.  I very rarely remember poems, or
at least their specific contents; but I usually remember them by their
identity, and can go look them up and read them.

Oh, and I see there really IS a Scott Bigger on the net.  Did you
get my mail?
