What a remarkably beautiful poem -- and well presented! It's difficult to pin a poem down for analysis without damaging its wings, but you pulled it off. When I reached the phrase "articulatory phonetics", I flinched in anticipation of wading into the numbing waters of jargon, but my senses were immediately recalled to life by the vivid image of the lower lip as sparking match.
You've inspired me to go looking for a poem to memorize.
Prosody is a world unto itself when it comes to mnemonic hooks, as is carefully analysis.
I've talked with Ashley Strand who memorized the Book of Mark and performs it. He says a vast percentage of how he memorized it comes from analysis above all. Quite interesting.
