A poem of poems

Jean challenged me to write a book-spine poem using only books of poetry. Given that most of my books of poetry are called 'The Complete Poems of ...', 'The Collected Poems of ...' or 'Selected poems of ...' I thought this was going to be a difficult undertaking. But hoorah for those little pocket classics that were everywhere some years ago. So, I have taken a little poetic licence with the old, old story, as also told by Ben (bottom poem), Jean, Erin (second poem down) and Meredith. I've included a somewhat obscure reference to the morning star (see particularly here, and ignore the subtitle) and I was hoping for extra points for including a poem that is also the name of a kind of poem. The title of the last volume, which is fading away, is More than One World.

And in the interests of future book-spine poems, if you happen to be writing a book, can I suggest that you please include a verb in the title.
