Jillio, you defined it very well!  BTW, I wrote that poetry, I am Scott Hamm, check LinuxGold's Blogspot and check the profile out. :)


Let me define a little further:


"Breaking grammar that turns into decor"


Means that you can bend grammar rules that makes "sense" in poetic point of view.  For example,


Jabberwocky poem got a lot of words that doesn't exist in dictionary. 


One quote from Jabberwocky:


`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

  Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

  And the mome raths outgrabe.


You can find a list of word meaning here:

Jabberwocky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


What this poem use is called "Portmanteau" which is quoted here:


"A portmanteau is a word or morpheme that fuses two or more words or word parts to give a combined or loaded meaning."


For ASL stands forever in your utter dismay - is something that ASL "nayers" couldn't break -- it is a rebuttal to people who are "nayers", AGAINST ASL.  They think that ASL will fade away, but to their utter dismay, (deep disappointment) that ASL will never fade away!


Since hearing people used poetic license at ALL of the times to make great poetry, therefore, ASL is exactly the SAME way!  Who are they to criticize?
