101 Poems: Afterword


Favorite Poems Throughout My Life
Finis

“Our revels now have ended”—yes, and, well,
If “revels” seems a little strong, just tell
Me and I’ll change it to a word that might
Appeal to you a little more, all right?

Whatever word I use—or here employ—
Cannot convey the mixture of my joy
At having finished and, of course, regret
That now I need a series new—you bet!

So soon—tomorrow morning!—I will start
Another series, and—be still, my heart—
I’ll once again devote some time each day
To rhyming what it is I have to say!
