      Where Hast Thou Thy Poets Gone?

      Where hast thou thy poets gone?

      There used to be so many

      Have they taken Frost’s road—

      Or have they merely gone to and fro?

      Since, they write in stanza bittersweet, 

      We hear their language never told,

      Never hear timeless ends of stories old.

      Were Emily’s words, for the present, too petite?

      Is life a stage? Does Death wear masks?

      We fear change—

      We feel pain—

      But do we see the immortal human story?

      Long gone have our poets been, 

      Their forgotten language now dead

      Their stories forever unread

      Are our greatest sin-

      Where have thou thy poets gone?

      There used to be so many

      The Silhouette Girl

      Down the lively mountains

      to the sleepy valley

      There, I think

      There, I dream

      Dwelling on times of joy

      The trees give way to dark, yet the sky glows orange

      Like looking through curved glass

      The valley bevels in the air 

      Then I see her dancing among other shadows—

      As if she is one with the landscape

      Though I know not what kind eyes she
