to kelby lake: Your clue is far too general and might refer to a thousand poems...we really need something more specific in terms of reference...approx date of composition, the complete title would be great and the content or theme if you can remember it. q1

One of the lines is something like 'the river surged and ripped the map in two'

And then there's something about sending out the wildcats to pat down the land.
