"As far as the weak/strong thing goes its largely subjective I'm guessing."
I think on ending lines it is less subjective as there are very obvious technical things one can point to. Opening lines are more difficult because it depends on how the poem is going to unfold. But unless you meant rhythmically when saying the first line is weak, I think you are inaccurate. If it were a weak line content-wise, you wouldn't have gotten all this interest about seeing the rest of the poem look liked.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
