The second line was already previously edited but I simply have not changed or supplanted the poem during the previous publishing.  In that reedition, I changed "a" (i.e. "on a dreamy radio" to "my" (e.g. "on my dreamy radio").


Below is the unedited form (retained for comparison):

just as some old song

played on a dreamy radio

sung by a maiden

that mimics its sincere voice

honesty constitutes it—



 



Second of all, I have removed/deleted a mistyped word "ho" at the very bottom of the poem which was believed to be possibly key in letters (unknowingly or unconsciously input from my keypad) that were somehow believed to happen after a while that I entered the poem.  It could be that the last time when entering & while editing its format (by adding more spaces to it (line spacing), at the end of the poem, and adding until the seventh line I possibly have been hitting some keys before publishing (due to the tactile sensitivity factor of my screen).  Thanks for reading on.

I've reedited a hashtag or two:  one that was input mistakenly, that which lacked proper spacing to separate it from another hashtag; the other was a capitalized "Interactional" to connote its proper noun form (which is a subject in linguistics, sociology of language, and anthropology—but does not stop there because of its interdisciplinarity which involves syntax, phonetics, phonology, morphology, semantics, pragmatics, and so on.)

I've simply added the following hashtags to denote its possible theme(s):  allyship, alliances, alliance, allies, ally, dystopia

sturdy trees (with Old English & German influence, w/ Dutch relation; formerly 'escapism')

I have added the 'Old English, German, w/ Dutch relation' in the title to specify some word derivations and or their etymologies.  Then, I italicized the word "acorn" because it holds a special meaning to me and that's the word that had been emphasized to have Old English, German, & Dutch derivations.
