All in all, I do not think that deformation is a helpful tool, but I can see where others may think that it helps to better understand the original poem. When switching out words, we are able to see exactly how the meaning of the poem is altered and how the author had originally intended it to be. I think this is most helpful when we decide which words to switch out ourselves. When the words are predetermined, we lose that sense of examining the original. By having to look deeply at the poem and pick out key words, we are able to distinguish the poem’s meaning better. However, I personally do not think that deformation does anything. I think that maybe if instead of random words replacing the original they were instead replaced with synonyms or antonyms to see how the poem would function then. By simply replacing key words with gibberish, nothing is gained. Sure there is a funny poem here or there but nothing of actual importance. In the future i’d like to see more of a controlled deformation that the deformer has planned to some extent, just as random antonyms/synonyms rather that random parts of speech. However, I realize that having any control in deformation defeats the purpose, so I will respectfully walk away from the whole thing.
