I'm not sure what it has to do with Pudding House, but I do very much like the first stanza of "Sleepless in Seattle."

Second stanza doesn't work very well for me. The technique of a two-word sentence fragment ending in a exclamation point needs to pay off, and it doesn't. In fact, it's hard to figure out the connection between any line in the stanza and the next. And the word Enigma, when capitalized, has to refer to Enigma. I don't understand what this has to do with the poem.
Finally, I don't understand the title-- it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the movie
