Thanks all... will ponder how much can be given away here without destroying the integrity of the poem... though it's interesting that everyone's followed the leader here. Not a bad thing, just intriguing to see which part of the poem has stood out for all of you when it's not the bit I consider integral. That's the nature of writer/reader relationships, of course.
I ramble. I will return. Thank you all for your input.
