City of Legends

As promised, here are the survivors from from an unexpected quarter.  Note that poems that are not making the carry over to loveaddict are not out of my catalog, just not thematically, structurally or qualitatively suitable for the new volume.  Also, as most of the new book is new material, I can afford to be brutal…

• traveler to an antique land
  
• Cithara Song, strummed lightly as the sun leaps the horizon
  
• the trellis of human experience
  
• I will wake you tonight

Note that among the poems that will be not making the move will be the Damascus poems, and the entirety of the Great Cycle to the Goddess of Fire and Poetry as well as…the Goldenheart Cycles.  So it is obviously not an issue of literary or emotional merit.  It has even been suggested in close circles that I also punch the ticket on As such...

I am not so cruel or shallow.
