meter is also harder to write but I see you have the talent for it. maybe someday ill build up the courage and attempt it but for now I'm stuck in my ignorance. hope you keep up the good work I truly loved this one

"to DRIVE the SPI-ral ROUND and IN" I want to applaud you for not only a meaningful subject, splendidly crafted, but also a performing piece in flawless iambic prosody. A fact: most (should not say all) who shy away from meter are missing out. The gratification alone of being able to put an expression or impression together in meter is an art form in the truest sense. Congrats. Thomas

Thanks Thomas. I agree they are missing out. I didn't write in meter before coming to this site. I used to think of it as too restricting & an exercise in frustration. But as I studied meter and began to write in it, I have found the treasure in it. It takes time, but it is more than worth it. Thanks again for your time and comment.
