Sweet dang this was a nice read. And the ideas were beautifully weaved and explained. I love how you give desire to a poem, that it wants to go through tension and release, that it has it's own needs which if fulfilled will make it into a great poem. Can't wait to apply this and learn more from you.
I had no idea that my tendency towards - and fondness for! - creating something that abruptly changes pace and meaning had a name; a volta. Thank you!

I love this herb metaphor for the turn of the poem! Very true (and delicious).
