X I've been told that it isn't the wind now but windg It must be that way to be rhymed with confined. And although the reason is out of my mind, It's all in poetic license. Take a word such as hearth and change it to herthg Then rhyme it with anything - girth, birth, or mirth. Though it still seems to be of a much lesser worth, It's yours by poetic license. It's strange that such poets as Byron and Gray Consented to use such a means to convey Poetic thoughts which should have been easy to say. But they had poetic license. Now we struggle with rhyme schemes, meters, and such, Wondering what to say, when, and how much. But And The And And For if in a tight spot, there's one thing we clutch - that's the poetic license. Betty Judd, '42 THE DESTRUCTION OF A SUNDAY DRIVER WITH APOLOGIES TO BYRON Cadillac roared down like a wolf on the fold, its fenders were crumpled although they weren't the sheen of the paint was a sad thing to see, the last close escape had involved a large tree. old Like a cyclone he tore in his shiny machineg That flash in his glory at sunset was seen. Like a cyclone exhausted, its fury all spent, That flash on the morrow lay battered and bent. For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, And breathed in the face of that flash as he passed. For at eighty he found that the curve was too sharp, Though he's dead we are sure he's not playing a harp. And there lay the car with its fenders all smashed, Both the headlights in splinters, the body quite mashed But Was And For the worst thing of all in this bad accident the four blown-out tires, o'er their loss we lament there lay the menace distorted and pale, another wild driver the end of the trail. And though the First Aid Corps would not give up hope, It was plain he had come to the end of his rope. Now the drivers on Sunday are loud in their joy, For no more would that madman their safety destroy. Only one in the world did his passing dismayg 'Twas the dealer who'd lent him the car for the day. Martha May, '42
