BOND AND FREE....That dauntless words knowingly are taken from the sacred

EQUAL SACRIFICE....No matter the heart there is courage to endure and hope 
                                                                                                      to bring
RANGE FINDER....Because the order of nature so predisposed is a truthful cure

TO THE THAWING WIND....To turn the poet out the door to never be impure



FLOWER GATHERING....Words are yours to be the measure just listen with

STOPPING BY THE WOODS....But knowing I have promises to keep in my

THE ROAD LESS TAKEN....I took the path less traveled by for there you have 
                                                                                                    taken me

You picked a great, down-to-earth 'real' poet--unlike so many today who write recondite puzzles more than poetry--the road less take, well, who doesn't it apply to--nicely done, Lonna
