It's amazing what a passing poem such as the one that apparently inspired you can result it. First of all, it is much better than the original (mine was just a sec thought spilled on paper) , more of an impression than an elaborate thinking. Yours is wonderful :) You surpassed the source :)
Meant to reply to this earlier, but the tail end of two cyclones intervened, cut electricity for a few days, inspired the 'Time Distorts Nature Distemper Images' series of poems. Yes amazing is what passing poems can give us. Which is better, superior, inferior, does not concern me; we meet our friends and their poems in love and friendship. I have always enjoyed the best poems of Miroslava Odalovic with happiness and exultant joy, grieved when she worked too much and had no time to write, but this curse bites both of us. Wonderful is our friendship, shared love of poetry. Many of my poems are referenced with lines from, or inspired by Miroslava Odalovic or other poets. I enjoy referencing the origin of poems which interact with other poets. Those which express exactly what I wish to say are a joy. We write to share, to know ourselves as poets, to live in art :)
