Wakefield Mahon Biography

I hate rondeaus, they're just too hard
My thinker hurts, my brain is scarred
To say my piece in fifteen lines
In octosyllabic confines
...

I remember times when I was just a child
A little boy's imagination still untamed and wild
The times I'd sit in daddy's lap and kiss his stubble cheek
He'd catch me doing wrong, I wouldn't sit down for a week
...

Picture

In the jungle, the lion-king roars
All that he surveys is his own
...

Would Shakespeare and Keats strive to write
Mozart and Bach to compose
They all could not express my love for you
The artists all at once would fail
...

One love, one God, one heart, one soul
That is the story I tell
My fingers burn to tell the tale
Of my own personal Hell
...
