One
winter
when snow fell
angels whispered
my impending birth
the new dark pretender
to make Merlin seem saintlike.
trouble aplenty lie in wait
darker evil, right through the cold core.
at night, the townsfolk tremble in their sleep
my birth had been planned before time, and thought
I guess the universe has a plan
the new spell has now been woven
time cannot recall it back
nor damp the troubled wave
people’s minds are weak
skyhooks are clear
they dig deep
time held
tight

A magical story, just beautiful!
We thank you, Elizabeth!
A story Etheree! Love it, Anita. <3
Just for you, Colleen…
I really think some of these longer form poems would be amazing introductions to chapters in a book. The poem could draw the reader in… 😍❤️
That sounds like a fabulous idea, Colleen…
Wow! A great one! Is it a Butterfly-Cinquain? 😉 xx Michael
Anita loves doing these, and it’s a double etheree!
