Iâm glad you understand it. My greatest fear was that with so many pronouns, the meaning would cloud.
If an egret is a bird and a heron is a bird, then an egret can be a heron, but is not necessarily a heron according to the proposition. Therefore, A can be B. Check "Philosophy for Dummies," Iâm sure it will agree. As for "believe hopefully," I know it sounds silly to believe and hope at the same time, almost contradictory, like lying to instill trust, like telling his Alzheimerâs wife heâs going to the store, when heâs really going to meet a woman for a few hours of understanding and conversation to ease his mind and relieve his nerves from incessant nagging.

Line 10 is tetrameter. Line 8 seems to have 6 beats. Several lines are iambic only on a stretch of the word. None of the above makes any difference to me.

Why offset the last line?

Under a hazy Florida sun,
in the median,
three tall birds stand -
underestimating.

If you're going to post a revision, at least correct the spelling!

The first verse nicley evokes a sad tale coming, except for the rogue comma. I love openings like this.
Is it a heron or an egret? They're about the same, right?

I wish you would stop ignoring me when I comment on your work. You went off in another direction, this time as before, and did not address what I was trying, in a constructive amnner, to tell you.

More forceful than procuring a spot of holy ground through his word. More forceful than a seed growing and blooming, in between which processes lies a host of work. More forceful that simply turning into something pure as if itâs a gentle ride.
