I found some cards you sent me 43
I stand before you, humbled and dismayed, 71
I wonder if Shakespeare was ever eighteen 37
If only I could spend my time in leisure, 115
I’m getting fat, this is no lie. 119
I’m sorry love about last night 40
In a tiny shop at the alley door, amidst the shadows deep, 91
In dragon days, on nightmare flights 78
In somber-hued cathedral halls 28
In the Mayas’ holy city 97
In this court, with mind entrammeled, 85
It is said that men and women are the same 44
It’s funny about humor, and the things that make us smile. 116
I’ve come to notice lately that around me things have changed. 88
I’ve danced in moonlight, dreamed in marble, walked a twisted road 24
Jar one chord, the harp is silent; 64
Lady of decay, 55
Learn to make the most of life, 25
Little pieces of the heart 39
Lost in an ocean filled with fear. 58
Love is a golden lie, a sacrificial rite; 51
Love is the child 31
Man’s best companion, 21
MacKim and I stuid furth that day, 75
Miranda Jane is just the cutest thing. 89
Morning dew glistens 28
Must my poetry be deep 118
My Grandpa told me ‘fore he died, 138
My mower slices spine and then is still 58
My shuttle flies, my heartbeat knows 81
My skin is brown and leathered from your sun 106
My soul flies fast through marble azure skies 23
My wife and I came to this northern town 76
Mystery woman of northern spires 42
Now that we’re middle aged, 137
O, mortal man, please realize 86
Oh! Beautiful City of Edinburgh, 120
Oh Christmas tree the perfect size 125
Once on a bright midsummer’s eve 48
Our conference is winding down. 45
Remember back when, being young, you dreamed 82
Secluded rocks in treacherous straits 81
Segovia, guitarist widely praised, 126
Shadow of bird, 50
She sashays, cool and careless through my door, 70
She was caught between heaven and earth when she died 57
Small black fears tap-tap on windows, 69
“So esoteric!” cried the dismayed child, 23
So wild and free 135
