Newton's Cradle (revision)

[Todd]

Todd, I am just glad that you read my long-winded reprise, which was written as much for my own enjoyment as anything. Out of curiosity, why not relate to me in re: the additional direction that you may expand on? Even if you don't decide to integrate it into this poem, it may serve well to put it into words. This could be good to plant the seeds for another piece, or just for the pure intrinsic benefit of discussing the possible meanings of your poem.

I probably will. I was mostly writing responses so that everyone knew that I had read their comments and appreciated them. Mostly, I'm still getting my thoughts in order and am not ready to reply in that way yet. I think it would come across too scattered and incoherent. So rightly or wrongly, I decided to spare the thread at this time. Though, you are probably right about planting the seeds for a new poem. On your other point, I tend to avoid at this stage discussing meanings only because on further revisions I want to be sure the poem brought the reader to a certain point and not the comments in a thread. That said, hopefully I'll get closer on the next revision.

So, I probably will comment more later before the revision.

Thanks,

Todd
