The below poem is a short/simple poem I recently wrote (April, 2022), dedicated to a wonderful Actor named David Lynn Selby. Many of you may remember him as "Quentin Collins" in the Gothic Soap Opera "Dark Shadows 1966-1971" - or as "Richard Channing" from "Falcon Crest". I decided to write this poem at this point in time because I became re-acquainted with the "Dark Shadows"Series and "Quentin Collins", both through ROKU TV and Social Media...and it reminded me of a time long ago in television history, when I was just a child. Nostalgia is intoxicating, as was "Dark Shadows". The memories were and are delightful. Hope you enjoy the poem as much as I enjoyed writing it.

From the Stage, to Television and Film
