    Two or more self-contained images that create a new (mental) image when
    juxtaposed to one another through editing is a montage

    Yes, that was the effect I was going for.

    And parlayed excellently I might add...

    ***********************************************
    Apple Montage

    Sneaking around
    with Cousin Jenny,
    smoking menthol
    beyond the sheds.

    Late summer vacation 1973
    in the backwoods of Tennessee.

    To the right
    behind the barn
    were apple trees.

    There were several
    of those trees
    and other trees
    behind them
    beyond a field
    and behind them, other trees.

    Later, I stood near
    as a crowd
    watched Pops and my Uncle
    cooking apple butter;
    stirring the brown gunk,
    boiling in a huge black kettle.

    I saw my father
    secretly pass
    a wine bottle
    to my Uncle Clarence.

    I went from
    breathing cold mist
    out back behind the barn,
    to breathing
    the hot misty steam.

    The air smelled of apple fumes
    and strong booze.
