Atlantis—A Lost Sonnet
	Atlantis—A Lost Sonnet
		How on earth did it happen, I used to wonder that a whole city—arches, pillars, colonnades, not to mention vehicles and animals—had all one fine day gone under?   I mean, I said to myself, the world was small then. Surely a great city must have been missed? I miss our old city —   white pepper, white pudding, you and I meeting under fanlights and low skies to go home in it. Maybe what really happened is   this: the old fable-makers searched hard for a word to convey that what is gone is gone forever and never found it. And so, in the best traditions of   where we come from, they gave their sorrow a name and drowned it.

    Where We Differ

To think my thoughts are hers,
Not one of hers is mine;
She laughs -- while I must sigh;
She sighs -- while I must whine.

She eats -- while I must fast;
She reads -- while I am blind;
She sleeps -- while I must wake;
Free -- I no freedom find.

To think the world for me
Contains but her alone,
And that her eyes prefer
Some ribbon, scarf, or stone.

Bonus Poem:

                  IN AUTUMN

Click hereClick hereTHE day is dead, the moon is high

Click hereA globe of fire in air.

Click hereThe owlets whoop, the crickets cry

Click hereIn meadows brown and bare.

Click hereAnd heavy mists obscure the sky,

Click hereLike thoughts of brooding care.

Click hereClick hereThe dead leaves rustle where we tread,

Click hereThe winds are whistling low.

Click hereAnd all we loved too soon has fled

Click hereEre winter winds shall blow;

Click hereAnd on yon tree to mock the dead

Click hereSits perched the sable crow
