Clay,
Absolutely and wonderfully metrical.

PS: I've been out of the loop for a while. Does anyone still believe that "metrical" means always the same beat? It's necessary to be able to write regular meter before you learn to fly but meter is "felt" and "recognised" by those who know how to read it. That's not a license for learners to fly before they have mastered their own feet
I read a good comment of Dana Gioa's in Alan Sullivan's blog. The thing that makes poetry work is the "dance". I believe that. And dance doesn't have to be a dull thump.
