Harryette Mullen : interesting take on 2 lines




Here's a very good analysis of a poem by one American poet Harryette Mullen.

She just won the Academy of American Poets Fellowship 2009. 

Take a look at how ROBIN TREMBLAY-MCGAW, at X POETICS, interprets these lines:

Night moon star sun down gown.
Night moan stir sin dawn gown.

Yes, MM, this is not uncommon. Even Wendy Cope does it:

Two Cures for Love
by Wendy Cope

1.Don't see him. Don't phone or write a letter.
2.The easy way: get to know him better.

Well, I could say rhymed couplet, like Wendy Cope's. This seems more like a pantun's natural image/sound | meaning structure.
