Well, I didn't use 'camelwhiff,' in fact. I could only guess what a camelwhiff is. Same guess as you'd make. Maybe it could be a word we can use anytime we want, a sort of wildcard word! I edit, so think about language; and I read a lot. Though not a lot of poetry. I have no idea what Poet is talking about when she explicates and analyzes what is happening in specifica poems. I'd like to. Maybe we should make her explain. But thank you.
