I grew up under the eye of a literary connoisseur.
Rhymes, alliterations, and mystical sonnets filled my mind.
My particular favorite was the gender bending tales of "As You
Like It" with Rosalynn.
The empowering fables of Grimms were my bedtime stories,
and Dr.Suess was a regular.
All of this was stuffed in my mind, and now, in my middle
years, I regurgitate into words sublime.
You are the lucky recipient!
The songs of Blake and that certain slant of light allow the carriage to pass me by.
And you dear reader, won't wonder why.
