In fleed of light from slythy greave the brollick comes from your believe, a world of myth in sights and sounds but with no words, to whit is bound The elvan maid, with visage fair has sparkling eyes and flowing hair. With skin as green as springtime leaves she brings the brollick, prince of thieves. He steals the show, to make the tale and slythy sight, makes heart strength fail, the quacker doodle in its flight gives way to fleed, on this dark night. And if this tale, untold, but true brings the race of elves to you. Cease your whispers, still your fears the brollick comes to bind your ears In still of night when stars abound, the dragons sing, in fleed surround and then my children, hush your tears; the quacker doodle takes your years Till young again; before the world was made, with words and signs uncurled then shall the brollick face the fen return this world to myth of then. The fleed is swift, the brollick sly the elves are hiding in the sky; the dragons call, in slythy greave creates the games of make believe Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Thanks Pat, this is one of those poems that you almost understand if you squint at the page.lol. I was simply inspired by Dragon Mistress' use of the imaginary word fleed.

I love the fact that the imp is never far from the surface in you. While I don't pretend to understand it all - your turn of metaphor always intrigues - it does leave me feeling something akin to nostalgia. A wonderful write, Kethry. Boh |

Keth beloved one, when you play like this I’m always, always spellbound. The ease you have of weaving these gems is clear you really are incredible, Rabbie Burns couldn’t have written it better. As for the Rev. Charles Dobson he would be pulling his hair out in handfuls. I love it utterly utterly utterly. The myth of sight flows o’re her soul And into dreams she found her role The fairy folk sold her into dream Where things were not all they seem Her skin bleached of all colour fair She lay in the wicked boonies lair She hoped that Rue the borick king Would find the magic elvish ring For the ring would free the knave Who would do all that he could to save The lovely maiden from the beast With whom she didn’t wish to feast The legends tell of Rue the wise Until he was blinded in both eyes By the hand of Sook the black Who rode the wind on boonies back Sook had one friend, the evil Mark Whose hand was cruel as was his bark The two of them hunted the good And did things no one ever should They ripped and tore out souls with glee They behaved in ways maliciously They have the maiden what will they do? And who knows if this dream is true? Marsha here is mine but yours is much much better beloved. Keep weaving this is truly perfect. rolling:   Love you always and forever Slushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

My, oh my! Look at all the people who stopped by to view my nonsense. Thank you all very much. I'm not sure what I meant by this and if you understand it, it means you know me better than I know myself. The only thing I know about this piece is ...it was right on the tip of my tongue *Grin Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

 (sigh) Nonsense! I think not, for innocence is what creates such hope and if we can all only see these mystical realms I think is ore sense than any senseless violence or regiments of tears! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is heartfelt, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Noah, I am far from innocent but I do have a unique and optimistic outlook on the world and I hope you maintain your optimistic outlook, otherwise I'm sending the quacker doodle after you to restore you to innocence. *HuGS passing shadows, well, it's something - I'm not sure magic covers it.

serenity, lol at your reply, especially the blotter acid (I think) line. The ink blots in my world always look the same - and they are never right, except through learned response. Charisma, thank you, this was my doodle or at least my quacker doodle for the day. suthern, well I didn't PLAN it to be like Jabberwocky but it DOES seem to have the same feel. Which incidently, I still squint to read. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
