Did you purposely choose to make some of your metaphors ridiculous?
I think Bill Collins deliberately made most of his metaphors ridiculous. He was "trying" to make this new poem better. He was making fun of love poems to prove a point. His point was that love poems are so absurb that people compare love to such nonsense.
Do you believe your rewrite of this poem was better than the original poem?
I don't think Billy Collins think his poem is better than the originals. He was just rewriting the poem to poke fun on how absorb the love poem was. I guess he was just trying to give a good laugh to his audience.
What point were you proving in turning the focus of the poem to the speaker himself?
Billy Collins point of the poem was trying to prove that love poems carry a lot of foolish metaphors. His random metaphors were to compare how some other love poems consist of metaphors that are over the extreme.
