Thank you so much for the comments Leanne. It makes me happy to pull something like this off. I'm glad the meter came together. At this point it's a play piano by ear sort of thing. I shifted four lines that clunked to me. I'm glad it's iambic tetrameter. And yes your spot on correction of the window line is actually what I meant (though I inverted the phrasing). I'll make that edit change now.
I was worried that form would make it come across stilted and clunky...free verse bias I'm sure.
Thanks for the challenge.
Best,
Todd
