This is such a resonant symbol you identified - the ring is central to so many of our human experiences and encounters - Your title alone emphasizes how rings follow us through our lives. And the poem shows their importance changes over time as new ones replace old ones. I would not have thought of rings as a subject - that's part of your creativity, to see the larger significance of this adornment. I'm a devotee of Wagner's cycle of operas, THE RING OF THE NIBELUNG, in which a Ring of Power brings out the best and worst in people.
