101 Poems--Another Journey Begins

Favorite Poems Throughout My Life

And now we start another trip

Aboard a literary ship—

But this time, it is poetry—

The poems that appealed to me

Since I was but a little boy

And silliness composed my joy.

I’m using no chronology—

Just as the things occur to me.

So—Shakespeare and some Robert Frost—

And nursery rhymes (what do they cost?)—

And limericks and famous verse

That I still choose to keep, rehearse.

And all  of these I’ve memorized—

The poems that I’ve read and prized.

So climb aboard the ship, my friends—

Enjoy yourself! (That all depends,

Of course, on me ….)
