I've got to rest my weary mind,
It labored hard today.
It washed my clothes, and fixed my chair,
And threw my trash away.
...
Some say its found in fairy tales
Or clings to stars above.
A mystery, is how it comes
To be; what's called, True Love.
...
You can find imagined love
Right there between the lines.
It's surely there, the love we see,
The one our heart designs.
...
Today I passed your garden gate,
It rattled to and fro.
I don't remember it this way,
The gate I used to know.
...
Today they stood in silence,
While trying not to cry.
They gathered round the casket
So slowly passing by.
...
Born a Virgin Diplomat
To die a Warrior Swan.
Most of them just didn't fit,
The guises I put on.

Below, you will see two versions of my very first poem.
Its important to understand that the first version of the poem
is exactly as I wrote it at 6: 15 to 6: 30 PM on November 2nd
1970. I made no changes to it. It is also important to know
...
I've often told of her before
And I will tell thee now.
That Autumn many years ago;
It lingers still, somehow.
...
The owl waits and watches,
Oh patiently.
Waiting for werewolves,
Victims to see.
...
It's not the molten lake of fire,
The dungeons dark and damp.
The heaving mass of mournful souls
Upon whom we might tramp.
