You're a funny chap, rowens :-)
I meant to mention yesterday, I spotted a bit of Yeats in your poem, I think, with 'passionate intensity'. Oddly enough, I'd thought of Yeats earlier on Sunday, while writing a haiku for my group. I thought I might use 'gyre' from 'Sailing to Byzantium', only to find it was the wrong word. But here it is again, in 'The Second Coming' via your 'Crisis-Poem'.
Do you like Yeats? I expect there are lots of other things I'd recognise in your poem, if I knew more poetry. Your 'wings' brings me Icarus, perhaps because it's close to 'sun' :-)

Please note, I'm away at the moment because my partner is unwell and he requires a little extra TLC.
