Why Does Great Gods Above, a Trellis Fling

Why Does Great Gods Above, A Trellis Fling Romance to my quivering lips then took Knowledge, words from that greatest holy book Within the sky mountains a deep blue pool Robin faltered was he indeed a fool What fragrance the chill wind brought over Jasmine, white roses and smell of clover Why does great Gods above a trellis fling That man in golden dreams demand more things Earth gentle and mild its huge heart awakes To mold diamonds and ever greater stakes What more does cold North, its rhythmic wind sows As the king hit with Herculean blows With such force the druids their sharp swords slash But even fallen angels wanted no cash Whilst I wake while feeling gentle and mild And my true heart sang out like a small child. O' but then lost tapestry had been up high hung. Artist painted all, even her own fork-tongue. Robert J. Lindley, Rhyme Oct 19th, 1977 Note- I composed this and sent a copy of it to my ex-girlfriend, Rachel. She was a very good artist but we broke up over my talking to my good friend Joan. Joan was just a good friend, as were her two brothers Larry and Floyd, we never even kissed. I dumped Rachel because she was too jealous.
