Nice, Ann! Thanks.

I suppose I'm too literal-minded to 'get' poetry - certainly not unless it rhymes. I'm the kind of guy who thinks Rudyard Kipling was a great poet.
Actually, I kind of like A.G. Swinburne, too, at least The Garden of Proserpine:

That dead men rise up never,
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.
It probably wouldn't work as a song, though, huh?
