Ah, lads, and lassies, mought I tell- Some tale o' heaven, mayhap hell? Of labyrinths both cold and dank- An' barques that sailed, or some that sank... Perhaps a tale of warriors bold- An' their last stands on some far shoal. Backs to the sea, wi' sword in hand... They fought an' died to the last man. O' maidens fair an' villains vile- An' wolves which ate the new born child? Or buccaneers wha' sailed the Main- Their likes will n'er be seen again. Why, I knew bloody Cap'n Teach- No port his legend didna reach... L'Ollanaise, his bloody crew... O' cutthroats...worst I ever knew! O' unicorns, and mermaids fair... I loved their lovely seaweed hair... Another dram..me voice does fail- I'd spin another Traveler's Tale. |

Your Traveler's Tales remind me of poems and stories my Dad would read as bed time stories. I didn't think you could top your cowboy poems - maybe you haven't but they are neck and neck in my book. I think all your poetry should be published with illustrations. They beg to be read to out loud, shared and woven into dreams. Alison |
