with the shorter lines and then the longer ones that stretch out and flow. Very nice.
I'm sure you know Yeats' The Lake Isle of Innisfree. It is perhaps my favorite poem ever ever ever :) and for exactly the reasons you elucidate in your poem. You reached me with this one, buddy.
Despite the typo it is a wonderful notion of monarchy over your own corner of the world. Great poem, Steve.
....much enjoyed this, as I do all your verse.....and you're probably well on the way to rescuing yourself from hell by now. With this poem, it's purgatory at the very worst.
