Karam Misra Poet Monorhyme

Amanuenses - Origins

Scented smoke from sandalwood upwards rose
As the venerable sage in yogic pose
Chanted arcane, esoteric Vedic prose.

The Sylvan glade with marigold and rose,
Where the doe with its deer fearlessly goes,
For its tranquility the Rishi chose.

The ancient mantras of mysterious force
Stirred up the Asuras, put them in throes,
Invoked the Deva, who blessings bestows.

The demons destroyed, there were no further woes,
The sage sat in peace his sagas to compose.
Born thus were amanuenses of Epics, I suppose.

Reason A. Poteet May 11, 2016 at 10:25 AM I comment the broad response to the prompt and the word bank. Adds variety to the usual serene venue of most entries. Best of luck, it is difficult to guess what a sponsor might like. The joy is in writing from the heart. Karam Misra May 11, 2016 at 12:13 PM Dear Reason, thank you for dropping by and reading my poem. I love writing for the sake of writing and the immense pleasure it gives me. And I love a poem which introduces me to new words and allusions and metaphors and all the other wonderful bricks and mortars of a good poem, especially from the heart. Contests are great for stimulating the creative element. ¬kc¬
