Thanks, all. I do feel a little bit guilty, like something of a trickster.... My name itself is an iamb, and I wanted to lead people in that direction! But I've always wondered whether my name should also be mentioned in the poem. It is mentioned in at least one other twin poem in my short series of them.
I've been talking with another Eratosphere member about "truth" in poetry, always an interesting topic. Of course, we all tell lies in our poems -- some big and some small. But in case anyone was wondering: Yes, I have a twin sister named Ann. We're fraternal twins, but we were dressed alike and called "the twins" for at least our first seven years.
