Let all the world reprove it

A single thing disproves it"
On a totally different note, I am a member of the largest boxing family in history. I was the youngest boxer ever as well, boxing on world-class pro cards at age six. In 2007, we celebrated our father for 73 years of involvement in the "sport of champions."
Five of us in the family are members of the Canadian Boxing Hall of Fame. A video honouring our late father, and showing some of our fistic exploits, can be seen at: http://ca.video.yahoo.com:80/watch/1126431/4100557
Latest news: recently had poem, "The River" displayed with the 9th International Multicultural-Multilingual Poetry Reading, Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Latest news: on Sept. 15, I took first place in the World Poetry Special Celebration John Keats poetry contest. My poem, "Ode to Keats" was read over World Poetry Cafe Radio, in both English and Spanish. It was further read at the sneak preview of the new movie, "Bright Star," which chronicles the last years of John Keats' life. My win garnered me free passes to the movie along with a movie poster. And now, Mr. Richard Vallance is dedicating the next Edition of his quarterly, Sonnetto Poesia, to Keats while showcasing my poem and running an Editorial on my writing.

My Poetry
-
Deviceful draft is hard to comprehend
the fertile mind seen nebulous as cloud... -
What treasure love upon the least of note
to think of things that more than multiply... -
The middle years befuddling as can be
the arc grows wide in separating mode...
