My Plea-A Tennyson Phrasis

MY PLEA - a Tennyson Phrasis By this still hearth I will drink life to the lees.Much I have known and seen..myself not least. I am part of all that I have met, yet how dull it is to pause to make an end without this plea to thee. From the eternal silence,something more.. a bringer of new things beyond the utmost bound of human thought. Come my friends,strive and find,'tis not too late o seek a newer world. A Christian Evangelical Phrasis inspired by some words in Ulyses by Tennyson A Phrasis is a structured prose verse collaboration where the poet uses selected phrases of another writer’s (out of copyright) words to compile unique poetry therefrom as a tribute thereto,(the word phrasis is Greek for phrase). x You may hear me recite this phrasis and much of my PS poetry on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro
