Overall: Have written a few five-line poems myself. Okay, they were limericks, but still... Hawkeye7(discuss) 21:05, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but I wonder how many readers know who Walt Whitman was or care about a 4-line poem. But if you were to mention Abraham Lincoln, it would have more hook interest IMO.
Yoninah: that’s much better for me- fwiw I think Whitman’s very well known, but the hook is objectively better with Lincoln in it. Thanks for coming up with this. Best, Eddie891TalkWork 19:43, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
Thanks. We need a reviewer for ALT1. Pinging original reviewer Hawkeye7. Yoninah (talk) 19:44, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
I think Walt Whitman is well known; the reader should have encountered him in high school English. Sourced to fn 3. Struck the original hook to avoid confusion. Good to go with ALT1. Hawkeye7(discuss) 20:18, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
