I had completely forgotten and haven't traced it yet. You're right on both counts I am sure: I wouldn't have written on this ending. This time, of course. that was what the poem was all about.<br />Much thanks for the remark on the short lines. That is both helpful and encouraging.<br /><br /><b>sunny</b><br />Thanks a lot. Good to have your thoughts.<br /><br /><b>WINDOWLAD</b><br />Hi, and a warm welcome to you. Thanks for the very thought-provoking remark.<br /><br /><b>Marbles in my Pocket</b><br />Good to have your visit and your feedback.
