@scribbles I write poetry, but not really as a planned effort…It’s usually a writing assignment that prompts it, and then it just turns out different every time. 😛 I recently wrote a tragic poem in iambic pentameter about a selkie, but I’ve also written a rhyming ballad about fighting a red dragon. So, y’know. But my forte is rhyming couplets.

May I share a poem? I’m especially fond of this one.

 

Far and away when the wind blows west

and the sea is green and the light shines best

And the grey rocks gleam in a white sunbeam

This, this is best.

 

When the crystal shines in the golden halls

and the deep pool catches darkling falls

And the wren-bird sings and the whole earth rings

This, this is best.

 

When sweetest sight makes truth of fable

and guests share wine at a wedding table

And beloved voice calls “Friends, rejoice!”

This, this is best.
