Sorry, I was probably just typing fast.

yes, sort of like Yoda, but he would have just said A Berserker I be. The \"is what\" just doesn\'t sound right to me.

My poetry runs incredibly deeper than most can initially see, which is why I recommend reading poetry - not just mine - more than once, picking it apart bit by bit to see the meaning.
Introduction to Poetry I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide
or press an ear against its hive.
I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,
or walk inside the poem\'s room
and feel the walls for a light switch.
I want them to waterski
across the surface of a poem
waving at the author\'s name on the shore.
But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with rope
and torture a confession out of it.
They begin beating it with a hose
to find out what it really means.
-Billy Collins
