Contest Never Taken
Perdition
Threshold battled bastion
Has crippled Anteros, and his wings
Barricaded in her boudoir
Smirking between spindles weaving woes
Warping men.
Like wind twirling a whirligig
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.
Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
