What are we looking for in this? The poem itself is too famous (well, in it's original form) for it to be the author. So...?

Yes, for me that was the challange and the fun; hiding a familiar name in a structured poem. First I hid the name between the poem's run-on numbers (I added a sixandseven to make it more complex.) My gamble worked. Twelve hours passed and no one saw the familiar name nestled between the six and seven. What good luck! So I moved it.

My asterisk addition was to be a hint given in text (tx) messaging form. Give up? cool

Did you replace "break" with "shoot" intentionally, too? Or does it just sound better? smile
