No Apollo

[DavidF]

The first two lines are obviously what inspired you to write this. But after that, the poem loses its way.
The know/knows and things / things are pointless repetitions.
You've posted it on misc, so not looking to workshop. That's fine, but I think you can do more with the opener you have.

The poem lost it's way ? 

Of the three options I find that the least likely.

Still, thanks for noticing my use of repetition.
