I really like it, Delwen, and what you think sounds unfinished and improvised is exactly what I think works well. You are obviously very well read, and there are plenty of references to other literary persons, places, ideas, etc. etc. The sing songy impro feel works fantastically when juxtaposed with all these big names and references. This poem could never be formal. It would be too heavy. This is touching because it has the timbre and haphazard rhythm of a child's pat-a-cake nursery rhyme, but behind it the wisdom of an educated young woman. I wouldn't change a thing! |
