Early poems of a "minor poet" wannabe
I'm in the process of compiling all my poems in a blog.
I'm starting with my earliest ones, working forward.
Right now I'm up to 1990 - 62 poems compiled.
I'm doing this in part to get a count - I think I may have some 200-300, of which about 30 have been published. I also want to have them all in one spot.
The quality varies - from wretched to publishable. Maybe by the time I go home I will, by sheer volume, have enough poems to qualify as a Minor Poet!
The first poem that I wrote (that I can find) is from 1968 - when I was 12/13 -
A leaf tumbled
to the ground.
Don't ask me why:
It just did.
Ah, even then puzzled by the world.

Hello Lee!
I am honored to meet you (I saw your poem on Veritas' blog). I have written prayer poems and many of them were published. And, hear this, I have been a member of the choir for many years now and I love to laugh!!! I love to giggle, too!!! he he he... And I love being Catholic!!! I'll "see" you again. :-)
Thank you for stopping by. I'll have to check out some of your poems.
127 - in the midst of a slew of limericks from roughly 2000-2004.
215. Clerihews, dada, and more recent works to go!
