now for the poem of the week:

In the life of...

In days of old

when knights were bold and the minstrels carried a tune

spring flew in on robin's wing and lasted from march till June.

If you'd found the call to make a journey north of

Hadron's wall and found yourself in need of renewing hops bright spark

You'd simply forge a new quest and search for a nest of the bird called the meadowlark.

These days I find we haven't the time to listen for a seasons song

and we take nary a blink to stop and think and I consider this to be very wrong.

Ah but there are those few heroes

the truly shaman and sage

those for whom life is in bloom and all the worlds a stage .

Yes its these few heroes

who'll make sure we never lose

the kiss of a breeze or an elders wheeze

or the voice of the laughing goose

for you have my word it 'tis the birds that bring the

voices of song to man

so take the time to ask for a rhyme

or write one yourself and join in the band.
