I will openly declare that I prefer the original version - I've just re-read my immediate reaction to it - and except for the leg-pulling I will stick with that.
I know how you feel about de-constructing and reconstructing a poem. It is how I felt after doing a rewrite to try and incorporate all the helpful suggestions I had received for my poem The Storm...I ended up not liking it very much. It is now put away (as Todd suggests to you) for me to read at some time in the future.
