A difficult poem; hopefully the gist of it comes through. Working my way through the types,; sometimes I do better with one than others. An interesting challenge, regardless.
The Bulldog Turns 30
Welcome to the days you shall not for long in life recall.
Welcome to the days you will with but one song recall.
These days are sharply bright, more so in their deeply falling nights
Shall pass in silence, sequestering for later strong recall
Those gems that were in their time the deepest cut, were felt the best,
Guarded in Thy soul from the wrong of wrong recall
The Past births the Present, mixing bitter with the pleasant,
And on it goes, perforce, with no power to recall
The perfection Thou hast gained, withal,
I, The Wolf, dost wish you hold in thrall.
