"rhymes and times"

of all of the poems
i have heard
or have made,
have read or written or seen,
the poems i remember
and think of the most. . . .
are the poems
with the gold and the green.

of all of the times
i have loved
or have felt,
have had
or wanted or done,
the times i remember
and think of the most. . . .
are the times
you and i were like one.
