Spot on, Roger! I absolutely admit to having written this! For every possible minute that I can get away with it. When are the authors unmasked?
I'm going to be really disappointed if I find out that her name isn't Uma, which was my best guess at puzzling out lines 11 and 12.
Then again, first-person narratives aren't always autobiographical, so I can imagine it's "Uma" to my heart's content.
[Edited to say--Or maybe Emma?]
[Never mind. Then the poem might be titled "The Trochee".]
[Actually, the stronger beat does come first, as described in the poem, in a trochee, not an iamb...but I'm probably being overliteral. Again.]
