The Soul of a Poet Mayhap it shall come to me, in light gay, the heart of a bard to induce my say, through tales of old, of other days, a recitation may come my way Perchance an elegy I shall write the loss of dear ones numerous my lament and grief, both day and night, ‘tho I shan't write o’er the loss of us To honor Theocritus I would pen an idyllic scene to suit the when that life was pure and fine of flair, and I would give it a pastoral air If to be a lyrist of lyre and pen would I gain your heart, and then would you sing fine songs with me and join in an absolute harmony Or in silence of a moment, to muse, and then to be so joyfully enthused by the promise of your words to bring a song to my heart, that we might sing Maybe for me the life of a trouvère and to pen with Parnassian flair thus how to capture one poet’s glance, to pen by chance an Elysian dance To seize the heart of one who would pen, the poet, the bard, a muse, to spend a night, a day, to master the write, this my wish, and my dream held tight For the soul of a poet, I would endure that the heart of a soul I would ensure |

Sunshine, It's wonderful. Did you mean to change the rhyme pattern in verse two, if so it's a very effective way to give pause. write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Never let go of those dreams, Sunshine. This was so beautiful yet, I detect a hint of sadness within these lines. Hope all is well with you, my friend. Wonderful writing. All writing comes |

YOU? Wishing for a troubadour's life? Permit me, kind and talented lady ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Who doth this fair maid be wishing for bards' writing? 'Tis like Homer wishing Theocritus to be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I rest my case .... Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |

indeed Lady Sun of Skye, thou hast indeed told a tale that I am sure thou dost know well for there is none that holds the Soul of the Poet more than thee I bow to thee and thy words Fair Lady. . . ----------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
