I'm not the first, but I like the idea (via Josh Hanson). It seems like a good blog-topic--trivial, in an important, ephemeral way. Take from it what you may.

You should include the morning poem with two lines from a four year old is what I think.
THATS a good poem.

THATS a good poem.

Eduardo:
I am not sure, really. I mean, I have aesthetic reasons. one, I wanted to emphasize the feeling of a singular trajetory, of a gradual change; two, because I just feel uncomfortable with my sections when I implement them; I didn't like how the sections were affecting my ordering. Now that I'm coming to an order, maybe I'll section it off, for readerly ease. As it is, I've been told to keep the dense poems from piling up, but that they were almost all dense. So sections would seem advisable.
I'm suspicious I did it this way because my impulse is three sections, and so many people use three sections. Not a good reason, I know.
Thanks for asking.
Tony: sorry for the inarticulate response, above. I was stunned, is all. And thanks! That's only the best thing you could want to hear in a comments sections. Made my night.
