Hi there, @pathforger, thanks for your comment!

I've already updated my post to include these two tags, so I guess they might help? Who knows!

It's not like I'm expecting a huge readership on here anyway.

Regarding the imagery - I must have written the original as a metaphor for trying to find inspiration around oneself, which is why I tried to do the translation in a similar manner. The connections to the Wild West and Gollum are more than appreciated! :) :D

As for there being a song in there somewhere - I guess that's up to your ears and musical abilities. Perhaps the poem has a certain sing-song rhythm (which I doubt, but still).

Sorry if I'm being a bit negative, it's been a long tough day.

Have a good one!
