Just had a PS thought:
roman candles ready to go off
Would that be less cosmetic and more in keeping with your literal multi-definitions? Other than that possible change I stand by the poem as written.

The first part of this response, unless I misread you, is snide, and the second part -- and here there is no possibility of misreading -- is belligerent. And this from one of the "stars" of the non-met board. This reinforces my concern that the majority of participants in that board haven't the foggiest notion of what how poetry workshop works.

edited to more properly characterize the first part of the response as "snide" rather than sarcastic.
