 * Idiosyncratic. Original research. Pointer to a geocities site. Self-promotion?
 * Delete: The article describes a real poetic structure, but not a real poetic form that I've ever heard of by that name. It could be novel or idiosyncratic.  Had the author cited a example poems, listed authors who have used it, referred to a poetic lexicon, it might have been different, but a flat assertion that this is a form, when, if it is, it's so rare as to have escaped the Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics?

 * Delete. http://www.geocities.com/binarytreepoem/ describes it as "an attempt to create an experimental poetic form." That, to me, says clearly that it is not a recognized poetic form yet, therefore unencyclopedic, original research, etc. The article can be reinserted someday when clear evidence can be presented that the experiment has succeeded, and that the poetic form is catching on.
