A Maiden's Plight - Gold

Missing image



by dying breath of dragon,
did you pass

beyond witch and brew
did you detour

and, yet, by death
you come to me

your hands bloodied
by this newest war

      ty, Nicky. I have been talking with returning Vets from WWII and hearing stories of how they struggled to get their gentleness and deep attachments back.

      Ty, Zayra. I have been struggling since late January, with some health issues and I did not write any poetry, nor have much energy for much...but there were poems there that waited for me. *hugs*

    now you have me looking for the detour sign in the pic... and a hard-hat on the fellow...! (the word has road-construction associations to me, so it does not fit the time and place in my preconceiving mind... but it does give me a writing idea, a detour into the past, just past the manhole cover... a sci-fi fantasy, of course...
