I'm not sure what I can add to what has already been noticed. But, me being me, I can usually come up with something or two that sounds reasonably intelligent. XD
So: 4 stanzas, 4 lines each, each line 8 syllables in length. So, yes, 1 part of 4 x 8 makes sense. But that leaves another lonely 4, unless the piece is re-titled 4 x 8 x 4. Or 4 x 8 + 4. Or some such. Unless we just go with our greater instinct, throw reason out the window, and chuckle at the not so tiny barb, with which you're trying to *poke* the Grand Muse.
I won't even begin to attempt the alignment of "formula writing" against the value of "free verse," but at the expense of having to lose some items that made the original what it was. I really am tempted, though, to get out my math books and my books on numerology and delve a bit more deeply into the esoteric shadows you've created with this piece.
You see! I told you I could come up with something. LOL
You reminded us in a fun way that writing is "to each his own". Our methods and inspirations have a thousand faces. I know my way is not right but if something I am writing is not through in less than an hour, I am through because I am uninspired! Thanks for thirty-two. That was good! dale
