Hello Jude, as editor if I read this I would be turned off by the opening line. I would say I get at least one poem a week with “so much depends on” which does not make it wrong BUT and this is a big but, taking a line from a poem can serve as catalyst but the poem must be your own. The rest I found fresh and the poem imo deserves a much stronger beginning.
