Criticism
---------
i. sprung rhythm - odd number of syllables per line?
ii. hubby's specs{1} - a spook?
iii. post-modernism - verse about verse?

Him & you have flown the nest
Gift re-worked Apollinaire{2}
You seemed to thank wedding guests
No 'tis the case you thanked fair.
I only wish further bless
For you & him - wedding dress,
Mebs children need not confess{3}.

1. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/specs
2. a) "From China the long and supple pihis
Who have one wing each and fly in pairs"
-- Apollinaire, Zone
2. b) Les Onze Mille Verges - suspicion - perversion tailored to an
middle class audience, the like of which Apollinaire never indulged in
3. in my humble opinion there exists 'an age of innocence'
