of Elspenore part4

dusk arising







forbidden pipes
stir rebel blood
on strains of pained
lament
as once proud statures
turn face down
for no solace
here is present

egos seek the shadows
of long forgot defeat
in dampened
anticipation
a mothers sob
singularly haunts
above a pregnant
silence

not a murmur
then befell
as forward stepped
her son
and snatching up
his fathers sword
to the four hills
bellowed then

        the heathen kind
        shall dearly pay
        for bloods spill
        upon our lands
        over brook and fen
        upon fell and moor
        we avenge the gods
        of Elspenor

I try to create some heroic other worldly oppressed struggle with a dark ages type feel. There is no story line.... er...yet.

    made me look for parts 1 to 3, what pages are they on in your published poems folder? (might be an idea to include info, so we can enjoy reading your work as a whole)

    wonderfully rhythmic and immersive

      while reading these poetic verses, one gets transported to times past, as if in virtual reality experiencing the events unfolding.
      I so enjoyed this.

      Reading your words and listening to the pipes took me way back in time to be in those times.
