Note: Taken from one of my private poetry journals. Thought this was one that I'd never share openly but my muse urged me to do so this morn..

Once I Found, Once I Woke, Once Love Came Once I found, that darken cave to hide in Having no true friends to then confide in I sank each rowboat I took a ride in Embraced scenes of glory I took pride in Created dream realms that I then died in Once I woke, I found sweet clouds to walk on In that bliss, found dear subjects to talk on Enter tirades that my mind could squawk on Became a fool that they put their mock on A broken sidewalk no child put chalk on. Once love came, I grabbed its heart to hold to Soon begged its soft hands, to be sold to Sought sweet times, deeper soul to be told to Conquer enemies, others be bold to Find havens that could quickly be rode to. R.J. Lindley, April 22nd, 1973 Rhyme, ( Dreams, Loves And Other Fantasies) Note: Taken from one of my private poetry journals.

This poetic trip though your memories is, thought provoking, descriptive, and creative all rolled up into a beautiful poem. Your emotions and youthful energy wrap themselves around your words and we are left wanting more. Your use of simple words and ideas are easy to digest and strike a common cord of familiarity. You have painted a picture with words that tantalize, tease and catapult the reader into a state of compassion and understanding as we experience your passion and pain. Emile.

Is this what's called polysyllabic rhyming? I think it's very clever.
