and the child was seen nevermore....

Only two foot four,
But my legend goes on and on!...

[paraphrase of a Svan folk song]

And you were the world."...

Lasting Memories
It feels long ago.
When I first got to hold.
The tenderness of love so bold.
And I stored the folklore.
Should in case everything go.
That I may have memories of
gold.
Living on for eons, never seen
before....

A Swift Clerihew: Taylor's Version
Taylor Swift spins stories, her songbird-like sensations,
an underrated pop princess with poetical persuasions.
Her complex lyric lexicon, like a folklore luminary,
invites the listener to see themselves as a fellow visionary....

Lion/Dragon
Slip through the cracks of the jungle,
Crawl onto the innocent,
Slither through the liquid,
Scaly snake of folklore tales.
Maim and kill the men,
Of which God made first,
They'll kill the Lion/Dragon,
Before the next verse....

Edinburgh
Folklore drifts
past cobblestone
like ash.
Along High street,
I traipse through secrets,
foraging
ghosts in
Castle Rock’s
slate gaze.
I stir up
ancestors
to warm my spirit
as an Auld Reekie dawn
bares
its dented armor....

Slavic Folk Song
Don't eat the bear
and the bear won't eat you
Don't stomp on flowers
Don't spit on the dew
If you are a bad person
your life will worsen
But if you are good
then there's no need for cursin'
Yoi yoi la la la la yoi yoi la....

St George Did Not Fight a Dinosaur
A dragon is not a dinosaur.
Those reptiles do not live anymore.
Saint George was a liar.
Dragons do not breathe fire.
That was all a product of folklore.
They’re extinct reptiles.
Larger than the ones today.
Dinosaurs are gone....
