Hmm...I wouldn't say that making copies leads to the death of the imagination--it doesn't take much imagination to imitate reality, it really doesn't. It doesn't take much imagination to just make it MORE, either.

And thank you again for the comments...I haven't been able to touch my poetry in a while, but this weekend I'm probably going to sit down and go over some old pieces like that.
I used to write a lot of rhyming poetry, actually, until I got to college and started experimenting a little more. I'm thinking of trying my hand at some slam poetry now, and I think that it could be very effective to do an entire slam poem in something with definite structure.
