I'm a notorious sucker for poetry-- I love it. But I gotta admit, I didn't like this one.

Like you, I held my judgment in check, but I still think it kinda sucks.

However, it is growing on me. The poor delivery (and was it ever!) made it seem worse than it is. Then I read it, but not written in verse, just printed in the NYT prosaically. It definitely "sounds" better in my head written out the way it's supposed to be.

The last three verses definitely have a pagan feel to them.
