JudeShow poetry

hi there, stranger (maybe you are, maybe you aren't). In any case, I'm Jude, basically one of my self-given names/pennames that some people actually call me now. (My whole penname is Swedish; Jude Svensen/Jude Svensen-Tideswell; the Tideswell part is not Swedish, obviously...)
I love theatre, I love it so much... gods, I recently realized that I was miserable mostly because I was getting theatre withdrawl from not being in my belov'd theatre and working there n'such... I know I'm babbling, but this actually means a great deal to me. My desired profession as of now is Technical Theatre Assistant, which could range from Lights Operator to Props Master (my current role in RMHS's theatre), or even handling costumes, or being the Stage Construction Manager dealie person whatnot. hmmm, I'm still babbling... oh well, endure it if you wish... if not, then comment and complain... it's up to you.
As my "preferences" say, my favorite poem is Robert Frost's "Nothing Gold Can Stay". It reminds me of how life can be, and that good situations don't always stay as they are. Below is the entirity of this poem (I'm just a nerd, 'cuz I have it memorized):
Nature's first green is gold; Her hardest hue to hold
Her early leaf a flower; But only so an hour
So leaf subdues to leaf; So Eden sank to grief
So dawn goes down to day; Nothing gold can stay
This next poem is another favorite of mine (that I memorized, yet again), however, I don't know the name of it or the author. I found it in a book, at a resale shop, in Aimes, Iowa. The book was called "The Craft of Poetry", published sometime in the early thirties or fifties. This one makes me think of an old love who left me for a few months, and I couldn't take it, so I totally screwed my life up in the aftermath. It's a really complicated and idiotic story, basically providing evidence that I'm a fool. But while I am a fool, I'm happy with being a fool. ^_^ anyways, here's the poem!!!!
I made a house of houselessness; A garden of your going
And seven trees of seven wounds; You gave me all unknowing
I made a feast of golden grief; That you so lordly left me
I made a bed of all the smiles; Whereof your lips bereft me
I made a sun of your delay; Your daily loss his setting
I made a wall of all your words; And a lock of your forgetting
