Beside the green of distant moor Upon yon rocks in cold of frost Whistling winds of love’s allure sail feathered wings of passions lost Silent the break of dawn in red when whispers echo ‘pon soft ears The mome of calm stifling their dread as winds created flow of tears From ages old of knight and maid King’s scepters crown the gallant soul when shining gold the metal paid as bells on high above did toll True hearts called in whispering flight the love which grew beyond the wall young maidens hiding from the sight as knights in court of them paid call ‘Pon the grey rocks of seaside shore Moorish mists bring chill the skin where tales once told of knightly lore and maids were court by gallant men [This message has been edited by Magnus (04-09-2002 09:28 PM).] |

Magnus darling boy this is outstanding writing, as always you excel at whatever you write. Fabulous writing and this is so descriptive so vivid in its image of the knights the maidens and days of gallantry and derring do Like a master painter you’ve sketched in the outlines and filled the canvas with vibrant life. Utterly utterly wonderful writing YOU darling boy never disappoint. Wonderful absolutely perfect poetry, YOU do know I utterly utterly love it don’t you? Of course you do    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Silent the break of dawn in red when whispers echo ‘pon soft ears The mome of calm stifling their dread as winds created flow of tears I do like a poet who takes a little poetic license with the languages.... thank you for this... |

Hello Barry You must surely be a descendant of William Shakespeare, are you not?? This was so beautiful. Your words take me on a journey to another place in time and I look forward to that journey each and every time I read something of yours. Take care......Sue Suetang |

From ages old of knight and maid King’s scepters crown the gallant soul when shining gold the metal paid as bells on high above did toll You are so good at these, Barry... I think you are William Shakespeare, reincarnated.  ~poetic hugs~copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
