This happened completely extemporaneously, i.e. I had no idea where it was going until it was done. I had meant to finish it on Mon., in a single sitting, etc. This is what has evolved over the past few days, I'm now calling it done!
Ethan, great works!!!

ReplyDelete@Remittance Girl: I see what you mean. That said, a classical realist would definitely see many many flaws in my approach, but I feel that my work carefully straddles that balance between classic technique and free-verse poetry. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Mz. Remittance! Your words are always welcome and encouraged. :)
