You got me there, Dom :-) Some elements are accidental -- I usually gravitate towards a roughly-iambic line, particularly tetrameter; also towards rhyme these days. Section 2, though, the last to be written (in a single day, after working and re-working this poem for 12 years) is more than half-consciously following Hill for its effect. Very much enjoyed Pen's work in progress -- >To avoid ordinary confusion, the saint, like the pornographer, lights on one thing to the exclusion of others. This is called purity.< Excellent. Please post the finished article as and when . . . . Andy %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
