The poem's no better than Amanda Palmer's, but at least Pasquin knew he was writing bad poetry instead of imagining he was producing something deep and beautiful for the ages. And it shows a better understanding of Dzhokar's character.
I haven't noticed Neil Gaiman being very vocal in his wife's defense -- I'm guessing he's just personally groaning over her act of bad poetry coupled with inept empathy and hoping that everybody forgets about it. I don't envy the man -- he's a good writer who has actually and repeatedly achieved the feat of conveying empathy and sympathy for monsters. But how can he tell his wife that her poetry sucks, and sucks so bad?
