I just hope it's as good as you think it is, Ted. It is certainly meant to work in the way you describe.

At last, ye Muses, an Honest Poet! :)

If you read this...sorry that my reviews of your poem (in different places) have such a split personality. In one place I say "Siren" is what we should have around here more often; in another, I basically dismiss it as too pedestrian. I am beginning to think that I am not only bipolar (true), but schizophrenic...and so am I.

Thanks for all the great interaction...just keep in mind the interesting admonition not to become "just one of the Fraysters". Some of the best advice on the Frays today, I must say.
