I can't recall where they are but buried in the forum are some excellent disussions and comments on what makes a poem. (perhaps one of the others can offer you a link to help find them)
I guess what i was trying to offer was a suggestion of how to start the process of turning this into a poem (as opposed to prose)
What will make it a poem?... if I was on such a quest, having done my free write and then picked out the key words and images, (basically what you have above) Personally, I might next think about what type of poetic form, art (or lack of) might best compliment and strengthen the ideas I have. But then I know everybody aproaches how they create a poem differntly.
At the end of the day - this is your poem whilst it is in the creation process - take ownership of it and enjoy the journey.
All the best AJ.
