The first and last line are exquisite!
Hey, I really like this. I have been thinking lately that it may be time to play with some more consciously metered lines. Often my poems will have a variable meter that surprises me. The lines just bounce right in my head, but I know this "tennis without a net" gives our Shakespeare professors a nervous twitch. And it's always good to practice the technique.
Great job with this!
Thanks, both of you!
David, I think this was the first time, ever, that I consciously paid heed to meter. an interesting experience - I'm learning a lot about techniques that I never even knew about before through these exercises.
Yup, I too love that last line. nice work!
