New attempt at poetry for a while; pls c/c?

Good to see you back. Should we call this a journalistic poem since you covered the 5 "W's" ? You could prune a few filler words like "for" in L2S2 but that's your call. Since S6 is to me your critical stanza, the posing of not knowing then turning it around the next line seemed not to fit. Perhaps separate the stanza into two couplets and add a simple word like: "but" then I realize' to show pause and that you've thought more about it. Not sold on your ending couplet, but lack a suggestion outside of the idea that the poet paints, the reader interprets. The couplet to me preaches. Overall, still not a bad offering done in an unusual way.

A horribly stilted formula turned out well through the effective use of ambiguousness.

You have backed into a nice piece.

Edit: I am trying to figure out how a sphere is inadequate as an image "painted" but is so terribly preachy.

Maybe in opposite land. The same place where you poetically condense a "journalistic" poem by taking out prose words. Make the rabbit complete by cutting off the ears and the tail. Sheesh. What passes for criticism in here.
