What was your first poem?

[dukealien]

There were surely earlier, but the first memorable was 9th grade English (1964) - choice lay between a "short" story of daunting length and an "epic" poem of at least 100 lines.  My poem [sounded much easier] was about the Battle of Agincourt in (approximate) alexandrines, with end-rhymes.  I remember the first couple of lines; it gallumphed.
