Poems I'd like to have written

This collection, begun in 2012, is just what it says it is. I have avoided very well-known poems which I admire  as they are already widely published. 

The poems here are still be covered by copyright and are re-published from other websites without permission from the rights holders. Publication here is not for profit but simply out of homage and I am happy to remove any poem if asked.

The Ikons (by James K Baxter)
