RT list: Non-sentential utterances, logical form, explicatures (e.g. in poetry)

Dear all,

According to the definition of explicature, it is dependent on an utterance
having a logical form.
Question: when does a verbal utterance have a logical form?

The first stanza of Oscar Wilde's poem "The dole of the king's daughter"
reads as follows:

Seven stars in the still water,
And seven in the sky;
Seven sins on the the King's daughter,
Deep in her soul to lie.

Does this stanza have any logical forms, explicatures (if only weak ones)?

Any insights/comments appreciated.
