Thanks Trev. The first version has a syllabic pattern 2/4/6/8/6/4/2. The second version is a stress pattern, tetrameter with rhyme. Not sure which I prefer, perhaps an extension of the succinct form is an option, but essentially I feel it is a matter of taste (as always).

This abstract poem works for me, and I don't need to understand it all. Its one of those writes that you have to eat the whole apple or not. I chose the former, and felt the flow of time in its parts as you developed the memories stringing them together. Some memorable lines also. Enjoyed.

The hope of fools and the faith of angels both reflected so well here! Well said.
