Hyde and go seek

Frank Polite"s _Hyde_ is a complex longpoem in a stanzaic form called panthera -- which he claims is Turkish, but which may be his own tongue-in-cheek invention. Like the cat for which the verse form is named, the poem/story prowls and pounces through many countries as it hunts down Hyde, the assassin/bodyguard hero, and MiLady, the gorgeous heroine. Villains, Malador (get it?) and Fatoush are repeatedly foiled by quick-witted Hyde. Like Polite's previous work, this is a lot of fun. It tricks and traps like a panther, and Hydes many clever word plays in its narrative.
