This was the first rubliw:

For Lewis Turco

Dear Lew,

All hail to you,

Old formalist, who through

Your Book of Forms inform the new.

If you can name this bloody form, please do,

before it disappears from view,

For you’re the one man who

Might manage to.

Adieu.

—Richard Wilbur

For Richard Wilbur

Dear Dick,

It’s quite a trick

To name the form poetic

You sent Sam Gwynn who, in the nick

Of time, included it in his panegyric

Celebrating my arthritic

Remove from the academic,

But rubliw’s a quick

Kick.

—Lewis Turco
