Re: LIMITS OF NARRATIVE POEMS
I think the accusations of "that's not poetry" come from two sides: a) those who think poems need to rhyme and have punchy meter (nit this forum) b) those who see a mess of prose with lines breaks, that simply tells you the obvious and is not enjoyable to read (possibly some of this forum?) I'd hate...

Re: Isms
Well, accreditation bodies already exist (e.g. UKAS in the U.K.). But it's not a legal requirement for a certification body to be accredited in order to provide certification for a voluntary standard, and lots of companies don't know what accreditation means or why it matters.

Made me smile
Though girls play those games too. Maybe without the lynching - but I remember pretending all the neighbours were undercover Nazis whose plots we had to foil before dinner time

Re: It only takes one weasel
Good point. The honest truth is, it's one of those dialogues I have in my head. And for some reason I tell people things they already know when I'm talking to myself. I guess it's by way of reminder. If I ever ever said any of these things, I'd probably phrase it as, "do you remember when..."
