Gérard de Nerval wrote in the early nineteenth century, "The first man who compared a woman to a rose was a poet, the second an imbecile." You ain't seen nothin' yet, Jerry! What follows are some collected scribbles from my pen spanning forty years.
To a Skittish House Finch
I will give you seeds
if just you’ll sit
and trust the hand that feeds;
a friend, if you’ll permit.
Such is all I ask
in return, to see,
that we two may bask
in joint comity.
