I lived from 1898-1986. I was from Canada, and am in the Americas category.

My poetry

  • Chains Of Fires
    Each dawn, kneeling before my hearth,
    Placing stick, crossing stick
    38 lines
  • For the Goddess Too Well Known
    I have robbed the garrulous streets,
    Thieved a fair girl from their blight,
    23 lines
  • Chance
    Strange that a single white iris
    Given carelessly one slumbering spring midnight
    24 lines
  • Constancy
    You're jealous if I kiss this girl and that,
    You think I should be constant to one mouth?
    19 lines
  • Love's Acolyte
    Many have loved you with lips and fingers
    And lain with you till the moon went out;
    13 lines
