Yes I would.

Imagism does not require absolute commitment.  A poem can have Imagist
passages and non-Imagist passages.  I read the ideogram I quoted  as an
Imagist or Vorticist sub-poem consisting of 5 Images.   "Ply over Ply" binds
the ideogram and is an insistent signal as to how to read the sub-poem.
What exactly the ideogram comes to represent is still growing in me.
