As to quoting another poem...I don't do it lightly, but I also don't see a problem including such a short bit (probably attributed). The poem was meant in part as a comment on/reaction to those lines...but it didn't quite seem fair to assume people would know them if they weren't quoted directly :) Thanks–glad you enjoyed it!

Though the overall message is solid and a pleasure to read aloud, I agree with others on those last lines, they really shine. I enjoy the voice, rhyme and rhythm.

Not sure about quoting from someone else's poem, though... I very much like the sentiments expressed in the last stanza – particularly the final couplet.

I never knew leaves claimed proof of happiness, though distinctly green. Peculiar tendentiousness. I never knew leaves claimed proof of happiness, though distinctly green.
