How can I write and not be true
to the rhythm that wells within?

not buck with the clapboard slap of tide,
the clockwork shock of wave on rock,

The Raven and The BardThe Raven and the Bard
-Daniel Henry Rodgers
The Raven's quill drips shades of blackest night,
Its haunting words, a melody of fright.
The Bard's natural lines, like "Evangeline's" fair hair,
Shed history's warm light to chase away all care...

LiatraPasha Acremodios grew greedy,
discontented with the domain he dominated,
so he turned covetous eyes toward Farabia,
sending his soldiers to seize this ripened plum

with its celebration of manifest destiny, its looming, iconic archway.

Pay Your DuesShards of glass cover the floor,
all bloodied and disarrayed,
The night of terror exposed to us all,
the town came out and prayed.
For the ten were gone, yet none be found,
people were completely dismayed.

The End of the Flying Dutchman, Part IYou’ve heard of the Flying Dutchman,
the ghost-ship that travels the seas,
there’s countless legends about it,
a great deal of variety.

By Quill of NightSteadfast, he, as fortress guarded
In his ivory tower slept
Fearing naught, though faith-departed
Knowing not his lover wept.
Cowardice, thought long-discarded
Secretly in silence crept
Corroded, as if silver, tarnished
‘Twas his heart - her only quest.
Haunting, held-yet lamentations...

Running wild and free

The Lost SwordIn the dark days of fighting hence

The arm, severed
clutching the sword
Fell into the Wraiths' black mist
It never hit...

The turn of a friendly card

The Morning of the Hurricanes Part 2 Continued from Part 1
The Beggars ’neath the balustrades,
and broken Children, Chambermaids,
are running wild from wraiths, afraid
of dreams where death redoubles.

crocheting hoods to...

Desperate Hope
There is an illusion of dishonesty in darkness,
so we rejoice when spring sings saccharine serenades.
