Managing Editor Thinks He's a Poet, Help On the Way

By Arlon Staywell
RICHMOND MMX — Dedication to the truth is fine enough, it is not always a path to great success though. Shrug.

            Forevermore

    Waves flash crazy sunlight,
    Winds drive on and on

    And birds on nearby towers
    Greet another dawn

    I draw pictures of it
    Till all of them are drawn

    And put newspapers on a stand
    Until they're gone

    All of this while ancient kings
    Rest in Avalon

    Let us walk in moonlight
    Let us walk by the shore

    Let birds fly in patterns
    On breezes where they soar

    Let them dance with the stars
    By clouds that heaven bore

    Let gardens bloom in hues
    The pretty birds adore

    And let the truth be clear
    To all forevermore
