Poetry Potpourri: Poems in Many Fragrances
By James Gould
()
About this ebook
These poems distill my seven decades of life experience in four styles: mine, Japanese, e.e. Cummings, and a wee bit of Robert Burns. The interlaced themes include love, life, nature, people, places, aging, a little naughty, a little humor, and even a biker as a sensualist. I welcome you to stroll this path with me and my muse.

MY STYLE
LOVE
WOMAN CHILD (1966)
Woman-child, tame and wild
Parts so wide and wondrous,
Shall I know the all of you
Before the sun’s last setting?
Or may I hope (love and loved)
Sharing joys (not as toys)
Life a fullness be.
Then shall darkness close lightly
And sleep come gently.
