Robert Frost's
Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening has the word "queer" in it. It rhymes with "near" in the next line.
Not sure how they would replace "queer" with "strange." What's a good rhyme for "strange"?

The whole point of creative writing is to paint a visual picture with words. they have removed an excessive amount of descriptive language. Woke attacks.
