Wonder...This is great! I love all things ancient. <br /><br />Wonderful sound here:<br />"Mellow does the wind blush glow<br />Eeried chill caresses slow<br />Each the herniation’s unsettled growth,<br />Yet still, in such of times, <br />Even broken promises find paths home"<br /><br />The last line of the poem is perfect.

The...It's wonderful to see your return to myth. The language is gorgeous, particularly the first two stanzas. You've struck the perfect tone for an entreaty, full of the folly of men and the need for mercy from the gods. Including the Welsh is a real treat and I'd love to hear a native speaker read it (my mind's voice stumbles). The empowering tone from 'open the mouth' through 'shine's waiting...' is especially uplifting as is 'even broken promises find paths home'.

The myth one can appreciate, as long as it doesn't depreciate, like the one where you drown in a lake if not a witch and float if you are, then dead anyway. There is a myth that causes dismay or would that be a rule. Either way not cool. Way off point went the cat, I better scat, before you take that fire from within and make me crispy here at your bin.Pat Hatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745293224202430152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930188128946500869.post-71294823382478345262011-12-13T10:40:05.030-05:002011-12-13T10:40:05.030-05:00A strong feeling of regret in this.
