This is good, William. You know, there is nothing that says we can't alter an old, familiar poetry form if we choose, too. More and more I am writing what I please, and if it doesn't fit the mold...so what?

Hence the phrase, "better than ere", Milt, we prove then improve. I'm always grateful for your insightfulness my friend, Aloha!
