magicicadais firth a word?
yes, i could check a dictionary, but i'm at work and trying not to get distracted. (yea, like running over to lj is a good tactic). anyways, i think it means something like earth, poetic license and all that jazz.
yes, the free verse writer is attempting a sonnet. the really scary thing is how many of my lines were already 10 syllables. scarier yet, those were the ones that 'sounded better'. ye gods, perhaps it is time i got myself some formal education on this stuff.
