Ode of a Foreign Stray

The Seed Which Ultimately Gave Birth To Ode Of A Foreign Stray Began To Develop When In My Mid-Forties Poetry Started Flowing Through My Mind -- Night And Day. From Time To Time I Didn'T Know Where A Poem Was Taking Me. I Enjoyed Those Occasions Most Because They Generally Led To A Brief Excursion Into Self-Discovery. It Is My Hope That Readers Of Ode Of A Foreign Stray Will Have As Much Enjoyment Reading It As I Had Writing It.
