I had been appreciating poetry for years - poems that sounded cool, had "Deep inner meanings," powerful rhetoric, clinched a theme, or simply had a beguiling, musical, humorous, unique voice or beauty. Already a dedicated academic reader, I was also archiving poems that spoke to my heart and personal experiences - my poems.
The surprise poem also explained to me who I had become - a maturing college student with a modicum of hindsight.
I began a quest to retrieve the poem that had retrieved a whole summer of memory for me. The poem shared my point of view, spoke to me, for me, as me.
Three years after the summer "Of the poem," I was to meet my wife, who was described in many more poems that would encapsulate my maturing heart. With the lost poem, I began the verse anthology that I call my life.
