Both spectacular reads after we get past Milton's narratological problem; and my take: Regained is the stronger work!

Why do I?
When I pour six ounces of pure dark netherworld,
With the aroma of earth, roasted under heat like from the sun,
Sweetened with the unicorn whiteness youth so adore...
Why do I?
Why do I feel like I could dance,
Like I could conquer an entire world?

And through the wisps of winter’s crisp
and frosted burden on these boughs,
I see the sky a blank pale slate
to paint with brightly lit displays
of trees aglow with Yuletide cheer

(Blank verse for a blank sky)

I saw the wolf out on the ice,
And as he looked me in the eye
The sky was closing in. The night
Was cold, and I was getting scared
That nobody’d remember me
When I was dead and gone, so I
Determined that the course of action
Best for such a situation
Wouldn’t be to idly stand
And take it, or to sit and freeze,
And so I got down on my knees
And prayed for godly intervention,
But quickly lost my concentration
As the beast bit me in the face.

@jcnewmark I want to hear Mary Poppins singing that list! Doesn't rhyme though...
