Poetry plays by its own rules sometimes, and I wouldn't want to encourage learners to assume they can always use the same sentence structure as a peom does. (Nothing wrong in this specific case, just a general warning). | |

(Which is usually something far more mundane than the anticipation they tried to create :-)) | |
