Gods of Caledonia Taking refuge in remnants Wild and free Brought by glaciers in the age of ice Enlivened by sorcerers in the age of magick They stand sentinel, witnesses To tales of enchantment and history Ruined by agriculture, human engineering And the greed of shepherd stock Still, there are stories to be told In…

Poem- Crackle
Crackle Flames licking the legs of dancers brave Passion embodied in a devouring rage Colors of orange, red, and blue Courage in action, motivation true Power of destruction to bring forth new life Heat of physical love, or also of strife A powerful cleanser, to start anew Banish the negative, light the witches brew
Poem- Sarasvati
Essence of self knowledge Lovely pale, mother of rivers Source of musical inspiration Eloquence as a path to bliss Sweet words fall from her lips Sweet notes float from Her nimble fingers upon her lute Knowledge that purifies is her gift Meditation, reflection, and spirituality Brings us to the joy of creativity In her name,…

Poem- She Turns
She Turns Stone to flesh, Her features resolve. Gardenia and moonflower, Jasmine and amber. Her eyes sparkle Reflecting her torch. She is the keeper of magick, Revealer of mysteries.

Bad poetry- an apology
So on Friday, I’ll be starting a thing called NaPoWriMo, or National Poetry Writing Month. I’m looking forward to it. I’ll be posting a new poem here every day for the month of April. You’ve been warned. Seriously, I haven’t written poetry since college, and it’s not likely to be super good. http://www.napowrimo.net
