“You spoke clearly, poems, line by line”

I want to salute to the author of the poem for engaging in a classic form. Willingly taking on any traditional poetic form and dressing it up for today’s benefit wakes the child in me .It feels like playing with an old (but perfectly preserved) costume, when you put it on you kind of transform yourself a bit. I’ll admit that at times I missed the loss of the rhythm (Iambic pentameter) like in the first lines of the first two stanzas) but to the most part what was said in your poem could be said of you : “you spoke clearly, poems, line by line” . Thematically, I liked the fact that you chose a classic theme: reminiscing on the object of one's love and trying to measure it in both universal and personal terms, which of course plays very well with the form (or is it the other way around?). At the same time you allowed some play with the language, reminding us that you were not doing an archeological reconstruction (“You tell jokes to the world” or :”I think of you with fondness”) yet, you were not ungrateful to past traditions (“nothing sacred, nothing sweet and fair”). Poems like yours are of the kind that always give me unique pleasure: old and new at the same time.
