BEYOND MY TIME Was I born beyond my time? I often wonder, if in rhyme. To see the works of Poe and Frost Knowing, today, the art is lost. I look unto the winter sky And heave a melancholy sigh. Oh, what would Byron charge this to? But shallow minds, I must construe. John Keats, be damned, the thrill is gone When none might know the liaison Wherein the heart and mind immerse To bring to life the joy of verse. And, oh, the revelry of grief That binds my hand gives no relief, In view today's unbidden cold. Ah, how cheaply the pen is sold! But I, though starved, will not affirm The price given, come Death or worm. ‘Tis my predicament of choice, At least in this, I can rejoice. Michael Anderson But dreams of those who dream as I, Aspiringly, are damned and die. EAP [This message has been edited by Michael (edited 02-26-2001).] |

Bravo. You are a poet. Nothing more needs to be said. You make me proud. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

Sunshine, you are so very welcome. Linda, I still feel the writer's block upon me - but it feels good to squeak out even a little jaunt such as this for now. Kit, so glad you enjoyed. Kathleen, that's all I ever wanted to be... Thank you. Poeminister, I thought you might appreciate this... Red-uni, thank you. I have not had the chance to read anything by you as of yet, but I will certainly look for some of your work. Welcome to Passions, btw. Sharon, you and Ron are the two biggest reasons why I ever continued writing. And though I don't see my writing growing in any measure, that you still enjoy my work so much means the world to me. Thank you. And thank you all for the kind replies. Michael |

Wherein the heart and mind immerse To bring to life the joy of verse. You may be beyond critique, Michael, in your poetic perfection. *S* But every time needs a poet who does this as well as you do. I like this very much! |
