I Would.
Were I a dragon I would launch from
penned pinnacle, stretch out lettered
pinions, breathe verse into fervour,
fasten my claws to thy castle window
and wouldst Sir Knight read to thee
rhythmical verses of firey healing.
Were I a mermaid I would grow limbs
to leap linguistic rapids, walk through
moatless shallows and when under
thy casement recite 'til thou open
to metaphored poems dispatched
as proof that myths relay feeling.
Were I an oak tree I would heap leaf
cushions coated in notelets, scented
with letters and prepare thee a pillow
of verbal nutrition where words
become whispered to soothe spirit's
fretting by metricaled meaning.
Were I given means to write odes
as potions
I would see thou receivest the most.

I never knew that you would do so much! Well, I know know, from this good write. lol.
Glad you enjoyed it Orchi.
Beautiful words , Fay )) love your poem
Thank you dear Rose - -- glad you enjoyed the words.
Having now visited this page on several occasions, I must now concede that any words I might subsequently bestow, would almost certainly pale beside the wondrousness of these you have so meticulously framed within the confines of a poem .. I bow humbly & deep in awe of your pen .. and award you top marks and ten out of ten ........................ Yes, tis that goodly good .................. Neville x
Speechless with appreciation dear Nev - this comment shall be virtually framed tis so luverly coming from a word-expert like your dear self - - thank you masses and loads Nev.
And if thee were my nurse dear poet i'm sure thine holding of my pulsing wrist should cause a race to alarm thy fine countenance and thine hastening to quell my sudden flush of temperature. Such that my noble doctor may chide you for your effect upon me until such time as in convalescence convivial chatter may proceed your bearing witness to how fine a rose you have brought to my cheeks.
Ah - - though I cant stop the chuckles tis so good to know you found much to set you alight in my archaic wording dear D. - -- - though I hope that high temperature has dwindled to normal by now.
Wow what an impassioned write! I wish I were the recipient of such fervent words being sent! This is really genuine and beautiful!
Ah Rocky - - Am delighted you found fervour in my archaic wording and thank you for leaving such a supportive comment Greatly appreciated my friend.
My Dear Fay,
You are an awesome Poetess. I love the visual you chose to accompany your amazing poem. I think you’ve used that visual before. I liked more and more each time I see it. Looking at it, I envision you sitting there writing your poems.
Thank you for sharing.
Laura🌻
I never knew you cared...
Such rich language, Fay - so rich , I don't think I'll need lunch!
Beauteous - and that's as far as I can go in an attempt to emulate your tone.
You took me to fabled places that once inhabited a corner of my imagination. Enjoyed X 3, or 4, or......
Wonderful words Fay.
Andy
