Jul 25, 2017 at 22:01 comment added GentlePurpleRain Also, we generally look for better than one-word explanations of each stanza. Most of your one-word answers only apply to part of the stanza, and ignore the rest. If you really think this answer deserves to be considered, please consider fleshing it out to explain in more detail how each (entire) stanza fits with your one answer.
Jul 25, 2017 at 21:55 comment added GentlePurpleRain -1 from me. This answer doesn't really seem to apply well. I realize there is a tittilation factor here, but putting that aside, the answer really doesn't fit the clues very well. Based on your explanations, there is no one word that is a valid answer to all stanzas. The answer seems to be something vaguely related to sex/genitalia/procreation, but no one answer satisfactorily fits all the stanzas. If the answer is "sex", then stanzas 1, 5, and 6 don't really fit. If the answer is "penis", then (at least) 4, 5, and 9 don't seem to apply. 8 doesn't really seem to match anything.

Jul 25, 2017 at 12:52 comment added Forklift I did not expect this answer.
Jul 25, 2017 at 12:23 comment added n_plum They are in their right to post this as an answer if they genuinely thought it was it and made (mostly?) legitimate connections. Maybe a word of warning that it's a less appropriate guess.
Jul 25, 2017 at 12:00 comment added Jason V i almost didn't post it, but it was too good:(
Jul 25, 2017 at 4:14 comment added valuable_asset I actually guffawed at the "To dusty pollen on the breeze" explanation.
Jul 24, 2017 at 23:40 comment added MMAdams I mean, to be fair I see how you got there, but head out of the gutter, Jason. The sex stanza is one clue of a larger puzzle.
Jul 24, 2017 at 23:34 comment added MMAdams please don't be crude, this is not the answer.
