Analyze and strategize tense usage in my poem.

Poem draft:
{{poem_draft}}

Current tense: {{current_tense}}
Intended temporal effect: {{effect}}

Tense analysis:

1. Map current tense usage throughout the poem
2. Identify any unintentional tense shifts
3. Explore what each tense offers:
   - Past: Distance, reflection, completed action
   - Present: Immediacy, ongoing-ness, dreamlike
   - Future: Anticipation, prophecy, longing

4. Consider strategic shifts:
   - Where might a shift create emphasis?
   - When does entering present tense create urgency?
   - Can tense shifts signal memory vs. present moment?

Provide revised version with intentional tense choices annotated.
