Thanks so much, Frank. When i encounter a new poetry form which I've yet to try, I can't resist the effort. This was my first. So glad I got it right. Your confirmation is gratifying. All the best to you.

You're kidding, of course. He was an American Poet of the 19th Century, whose work included "Paul Revere's Ride", and "The Song of Hiawatha."
