Your poem melds so well with Robert Frost’s lines - and if I didn’t already know that verse by heart and you hadn’t included it in your post, I’d never have known it was his work interleaved with yours!

Thank you, Zivah! It's my favorite poem.

I'm not a huge form fan (I don't like to put my words in a corset), but I've been playing around with the glosa form:

I've been happy with the results. Maybe something for the Garden of Neuro Poetry Circle?
