THE BALLAD OF THE MAID OF FOROCHEL parts 1-3
Thundering out of the distant plains heart and hoof together singing anger and tears a tempest raging knells of destruction, footfalls ringing! The broken spirit, the broken heart flees the madness of threat and mock --spirit defies, grows bolder ever-- --heart grows cold and hard as rock... She...

A new prompt! The Elevator
... the first in a long time! I have been thinking about people I have known for years, and some recently met; I have been thinking about relationships in their mad variety, diversified by gender, age, philosphy, life experience, sensibilities, species... about people I have gotten to know who, had...

Prompt: the theme is CHANGE
How do you face change? How do you deal with it? It is one certainty in our lives, our world, but we can't, don't or won't always see it coming, or presage the form it will take. Recently the topic of cultural change has come up in Naut's Mumbai posts, and I have focussed on it as a primary point of...

Another Middle-earth poem
No sooner do I put together the 'whole' collection, than I go writing another... Maid of Rohan A whisper runs over the tall grass a sigh on the ocean of green that echoes the longing I feel over all of the leagues between your noble heart and my own though your fine grey eyes have not seen. In...

prompt: Permanence
As a child I expected a certain permanence in certain features of the world. Some part of me still does. I have not divined why I get stuck on this issue--but I can remember being shocked, at age 8 or 9 by such things as the Congo changing its name to Zaire. I thought the names of countries were...

Prompt: In the Time of Plague
In the mid-1300s, over a period of about 5 years, the Great Pestilence, the Black Plague swept across Europe from Asia to Ireland, from the Arctic to North Africa, wiping out two thirds of the population, emptying whole towns and reducing the productive countryside to a world of bleak abandonment.

reprising some poems
It is my intent to attach these poems to some of my photos, and create my next show of such things. I don't have a shot for this, yet, but am thinking of some archaic architecture that might stand in for Troy. The poem itself was written after seeing the relatively recent movie TROY.
