Lots of things to ponder, Mick. Just a friendly comment: this is NOT blank verse. Blank verse is metered, mostly iambic pentameter.

Hi Mick.. So glad I had the opportunity to read your interesting and educational poem this morning. Also appreciated the notes at the bottom. I'm heading home from a road gig today and won't have this chance again for a while. Happy Weekend!

Don't leave it too long! Re earth tilting, interesting theory, however, the core being molten it will always find its own level, and the mantel is constantly in motion, but hey what do I know? It all intrigues me, you too I guess?

Oh! My own theory on tilt n' stuff... Extracting the mass of oil etc that we have from beneath the earth's surface, how is it physically possible that there will not be displacement, shifting, reduction of mass. Simple science, no? Ah, I'll just stick to poetry. ;p
