The Trail Of Their Tales Passed down through the pages of history hauntingly, the legends have been re-told man tries to figure out the mystery. Unfading are those by gone days of old embedded throughout the annals of time their hopes and dreams stolen, they have been sold. I continue to write my words of rhyme passing along their tearful trail of tales their spirits soaring, continue to climb. We hide behind a shameful past of veils to hear them speaking of peace, I still try but alas, I too often hear their wails. Listen to the great spirits held on high their message I continue to impart hear the hoof beats of time thundering by. Their legends of life will never depart. Feel the spirits reside within your heart. "When we're torn apart, shattered and scarred, love has the grace to save us" Saints and Angels as sung by Sarah Evans |

Gentle Spirit-- Here you are again, drawing on the written traditions and bringing them forward in elegant terza rima. Enjoyed the read! Shenachie |

This is universal in appeal, Donna. Not only have you done a terza rima in the format by which it is taught [or so I believe, but I'm still learning, we will let Nan be the final judge of that] but the message contained within...speaks to many nationalities and cultures. Recently while doing some research for another poem, I ran across some information I did not know, or was not fully aware of, of Australia's culture. I knew that Australia was once a home for convicts - that was taught to us in school. However, what I discovered was that the aborigines, the "natural inhabitants" of Australia and New Zealand, were treated as badly, if not worse, than our own Native Americans, or Africa's Negroes, when transplanted to North America. I have a feeling when you wrote this, you wrote it for the Native Americans. But you touched people around the world. Hugs to a fine lady who did a great job, not only once, but twice. Before November is over, I hope we see a third attempt....please? |

Gentle Spirit, I really love your theme. It is indeed, as sunshine already says, universal. Wonderful job.  |
