The Beginning

I guess I have to start somewhere...
Here is one of my first bits of writing (that I'm not ashamed of). This is a poem I wrote for English class in high school, so some of you may have seen it before. It is a Shakespearean sonnet written in iambic pentameter. Read it...even if you don't like poetry...

Ode To A Darkhorse
In what fine place can’st thou be found, my love?
Thro’out the world no place have I ignor’d,
Upon the highest mount I’ve searched above,
Yea, e’en the furthest land have I explor’d.

Beneath the sun thy beauty shines like gold,
Two em’ralds set in glass, they are thine eyes
And skin so smooth, alas, I’ll make so bold;
Thy lovely lips have e’er brought forth my cries.

Oh how I long to touch, to hold thee tight,
To look into thine eyes and see myself,
I would thou bide forever in my sight,
That none of thee be lost upon some else.

All this I wish as long as time shall pass,
Yea, e’en to catch my love, a Largemouth Bass.
