The ATM forum defines Interoperability specifications only.  Therefore we
_Cannot_ specify the form of poetry as either a Sonnet or a Ballad.

We may however specify the meter, rhyme, and language of the poem.  Our
attorneys are still attempting to decide wheter we may specify the Tone of
a poem.

Please leave any discussion as to the audience's reaction to a poem out of
the contribution.  The marketability of a poem is not our concern.  It is
enough to write poetry for it's sake.

Also, please note that any editorial changes made at the interim session in
haight ashbury will have to be reveiwed by the GM (grammer) subworking
group.

Thank you,
The (unofficial) poetry chair.
