"A thousand words fly from my pen
Like so many fluttering carrier pigeons
And as if by some secret modulation process
Each word-pigeon carries a special message
strapped to its belly."

Hello "Friends Out There"--my name is David B. Swanger. My interests in life have led me to membership in various orders and groups such as The Freemasons and The Rosicrucians. As you can see, I have a wide interest in things--trying always to "look beneath the surface" for those really important meanings.

Herewith is a listing of titles of short poems and other stuff that I have written. OK all ye truth seeking open-minded inquiring souls out there (and I know you're out there), make selection...download and enjoy!
