Now, this is why God made couplets, Beth! Stellar employment of this seemingly simple, but in reality abstruse form of stanzaic structure....All too often, and to me it is mind boggling, but many people defer to couplets when they are having difficulties with other (far easier) forms of stanzaic structure such as Tercet or Quatrain. I've got news for this inaccurate notion...Yes, Couplets can be force-fed...but the question is...do the couplets flow? Do couplets even make sense to a poem whose text does not have the proper breakpoints that Couplet structure requires in order to make it work like you do here...Sorry 4 the ramble...Solid workmanship all around... ~FjR~
