I guess my primary drawback in this conversation would have primarily to do with a lack of classical education in poetic forms and tropes. Luckily, my mother-in-law--who also likes my poetry, and thinks I should write more--gave me books on the subject for Christmas, which I'll hopefully be getting around to any day now. Then maybe I can do some experimentation, and come up with a slightly less "let's agree to disagree!"-type response.
