I walk on this earth slowly

and lightly, my sole intent

to reconcile the lowly

and exalted. The extent

of my demesne is nothing

apart from myself. I'm meant,

simply, to be my own king.

(The 7-Up is a form of my own devising, comprising 7 lines of 7 syllables each. I invented it originally, specifically for a series of autobiographical poems called 'Moments In Eternity' - of which there are now over 130 - and liked it so much that i now use it indiscriminately. There will be a lot of 7-Ups on my profile in good time.)
