Hi Tim,
"While Jim's life hung in balance..." I could just see this being critiqued on the boards and someone saying, "Uhh, the expression is, hung in the balance". Why is this okay---besides the fact that you think the writer so good as to be above the law (so to say)? Do you think it is a flaw in the poem? a little flag of surrender saying, "I couldn't use the normal phrase?"
