A Panoramic Garden of Verse

LEGEND OF THE WABASH

Let me tell you about the Wabash
Whose mystic waters flow,
Was started by a Maiden
And Brave of long ago.

The Indian children sang,
With joy the women cried.
No one seemed to know
An Indian Brave had died.
(note: best loved poem 144 lines)


CHARDS IN THE MIRROR

Seeking introspection,
Quite unnerved by what I see.
Chards within the mirror,
A dozen pieces or more.
Each is my reflection...

THE SPIRIT OF THE MAGNIFICENT STAG

Oh! the glassy eye and the stare of death,
And the pool by the side of the head.
And I danced with joy and I shook with fear
At the majesty, the holiness of the dead.

So I stood in a most magnificent pose
With my head both high and proud.
I knew his spirit had replaced my own,
It was justice as the gods had allowed.
