Analysis and comments on 136 Syllables At Rocky Mountain Dharma Center by Allen Ginsberg

Comment 2 of 2, added on November 9th, 2006 at 10:42 PM.

I didn't count it. Is it really 136 syllables. If it were me it wouldn't
be and people who had counted would say, hey, it's not the right number.
If it really is 136 syllables I wonder what that says about him, that he
actually counted them and gave his poem that title. I liked it. Again, I
like his vocabulary. I like warble and Pleaides right there together.
wow. good images. I could almost see it all as it must have actually
happened, which I suppose is the art of a great poet.

Strange poem once you get to read it, mainly because it's making emphasis
on multiple things, and also evokes different day times in a single
reaction. Nevertheless, great poem by Ginsberg.
