 I hear "My Day of Beckoning" From Muses to my lair 'Tis long enough my Reckoning Life's Sirens fill the air. Enough Responsibility I've been grown up too long I'm ready for Frivolity To sing that Siren's Song No more of this hibernal game With tufted quilts and snow I hear Adventure call my name With all it shall bestow. A fortnight's nurturant avow, Time now to shed that skin My burdens all are lighter now New Journeys to begin. My Quest in life to have some Fun And write of all I see I'll tell you when I've touched the Sun Thence Siren's Song I'll be. So, heed me well, I have forespake I'll venture to and fro, I know not now which roads I'll take I'll pave them as I go Entrust in this, loved ones and friends, I and my Travelin' Van Will forge new trails by this year's end ~ I'll be a Travelin' Nan. Is Irony in Hearkening? Life's Siren's luring word? I hear "My Day of Beckoning" The Sweetest Song I've heard. I feel a strong case of cabin fever coming on here...

Going west are you? What is really beckoning you, Nan? Do you hear the call of the wild? Will you go west and tame those pesky poets out there?  |

My Quest in life to have some Fun And write of all I see I'll tell you when I've touched the Sun Thence Siren's Song I'll be. ==================== Nan this is charming... the light hearted spirit is wonderful... love the unique vocab choices ... and the ryhme flow reads like a melody way cool...and look at all the invites ya got enjoyed this read much. When to the sessions of sweet silent thought, I summon up remembrance of things past ... I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought. ~Shakespeare~ |
