I like it all, Jill & Patrick.
Like throwing a coin (poem) in the dark and having to wait until morning to see
if it's heads or tails.
Sometimes 'the wait' is the actual poem. The coin is merely a punctuation mark,
a mark of temporary finality.

Hi Patrick,
I was trying out some Is, helped out by poets of the past and present.
And I often write in the dark, in all senses. In fact, last night I did. Not
sure
I can read it this morning.
And sometimes, I,too, dislike it.
Cheers,
Jill
