Wow! A lot t absorb in one read. I searched on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge for more info of this poetry form - nowhere to be found ((except this story!). Is there another way of spelling it? Only found canon - grrrr!

I found this extremely informative and fascinating as I used to write songs and lyrics but never pursued that path further.

The music artists you mention are all familiar to me but I never knew they wrote this type of poetry. (Don't know how to type the 4th letter!)

In my library to read again and makes notes!
