Linguistic strategies in a poem intrigue competent readers as well as poets. In this article the analysis of the poem “Leopold” by the Afrikaans poet T.T. Cloete investigates the possibility of metapoetics. The poem appears in a volume entitled Idiolek (1986: 63). From this title it can be inferred that attention will be focused on distinctive individual linguistic expression. In Cloete's poem it becomes evident that the poetic style of the Dutch poet J.H. Leopold (1865–1925) is under scrutiny. It will become evident that the celebration of poetry as a maximum exploitation of language can be identified as a distinctive poetic style. The aim of the article is to draw attention to the functioning of poetic metalinguistics as an interpretive and creative process of reading
