Keith D Trestrail Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Argus is a 1972 album by British band, Wishbone Ash. Still a classic

Listen to poem:

Argus

Time Was when I heard a loud raging fire
  and the sound of glory raised from the ash,
when my Sometime World long playing higher
  dazzled the age with a hot vinyl flash!
That Flying V Fender Strat Blowin’ Free
  amplified in my ear and in my brain,
and The King Will Come slowly unto me
  when I hear the piper and drum again.
In beauty of Leaf and Stream evermore
  burns that hypnotic wishbone ash in us,
like a Warrior at the gates of war
  to rise again the legend of Argus.
And in the end a new age will record
the great band of four who Throw Down the Sword.
