>Upone reading the syllable count in each section of the poem and how the play itself is a drunken waltz. With the word order and the swaying of the reader's emotions as discussed in the readings, the poem in its entirety becomes itself a drunken waltz.

Excellent examination of the actual breakdown of poetry. I found your post to be insightful and very interesting view of the waltz. This sheds some light on the name of the poem. Good post.
