Museling

( a bardic admonition, posted 14 February 2009 )

 

Hither knave, come nigh unto me,
wrest thine thoughts 'til hearts agree;
heed the lesson pride won't teach,
practise what thou fiercely preach.


Turnest thou thine fertile tome:
another leaf, another poem;
steady on 'til light of day,
only purest thoughts will stay.

    A fine write

  • sorenbarrett

    Classical in olden style upon the reader wisdom pile
    Many are the poems I've wrote forgotten bins do bloat
    Deemed as nonsense by the crowd n'er to be read again aloud

    Sorry my friend could not help myself. A great message to us all.

      Yup, the pseudo-archaic seems to deter reading, lol

        Sadly so in that I enjoy it and it is so rare now days. What I read now I often can not even understand with acronyms and abbreviated spellings when one can spell at all. Words omitted, no punctuation and neologisms that would cause Shakespeare to scratch his head.

          So true, the literacy requirement of the 21st century is quite daunting, but it is for the most part more challenging to the elderly than the youngerly since they have no compunction to look backwards at all. LOL

                arqios, I rather enjoyed being summoned as a knave and then promptly told to get my shit together. 😂 Jokes aside, fantastic write my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                  At least it wasn’t to the gallows! “Off with their head!”
