Ah, lads and lasses, have a care- An’ if ye’d but pull up a chair… To ease yer boredom wi’ out fail I mought jus’ spin a Traveler’s Tale. But, hmmm? I’ve spake of India’s clime And Rome and Greece..them both sublime- The Golden Horde of Tamerlane- There’s nothing much to tell of Spain.. Perhaps? But nay! I shall not chance- Wi’ tales of dainty, flighty France… P’raps the time wi’ Teach I stood.. The midships deck awash wi’ blood. The cannon roared wi’ grape an’ shell- The scene a tapestry o’ Hell… The world hath never seen before- The like o’ blood, an’ guts, an’ gore.. P’raps an island, quiet..serene… Some lovely, amber colored queen- Or alley fightin’, stoop and stair- To win the hand o’ maiden fair. The ones I loved, then left behind- Another shore, or fight to find…. Ah! Buxome wench..I canna fail- To place ye in me Traveler’s Tale.

Slinger, I swear you just delight me with your tales. This one fairly sings. Very much liked by this lady. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I remember your original traveler's tales you introduced when you arrived here which showed beyond a doubt that you were a gifted poet. This one does nothing to lesson that belief. |
