thanks Windsong
I haven't been here in a while here's a little something I wrote today
Rain in Spring
She is gentle still and calls to you
She is soft and warm as she caresses you
She falls in droplets from the sky
From the clouds that are on high
Drop by drop down she goes
Making music with soft sound
Rain in spring sent to melt to snow
That for so long captive the ground
How strange it seems, so frail is she
Yet to her the snow must surrender
For he has no power or might
Against this warm and gentle weather
Drop by drop the spring rain falls
Bring freshness to the Narnian air
Making all around clean and calm
Making all around beautiful and fair
Spring has come to Narnia
Replacing snow with rain
And how the creatures do rejoice
That at last spring came
Soon the flowers will bloom
And the dryads' hair will fill with leaves
Soon the river will flow again
And the meadows will be green
Soft and gentle the rain falls
Delightful rain that hails spring
And with each drop we can watch
How winter surrenders and takes its leave
always be humble and kind
Hey wild rose,
I really enjoyed the gentle flow of words that described the drops of rain. You are very talented at elemental poetry.

thank you Windsong
poem about Shasta who was left alone at the great tombs while Aravis and the horses had to remain in the city (inspired by the book A Horse and His Boy)
Shasta at the Tombs
The night settles in so calm and still
I lie here on my own
I lost my companions in a sad mistake
And now I am all alone
Here, by these tombs
I watch the darkness creep by
I watch the moon rise
And stars appear in the sky
Fear creeps into my soul
As the darkness settles in
What if this graveyard is haunted
What if ghouls really exists
I hear a howl in the distance
Wolves must be nearby
Now it seems my fate is sealed
I must be meant to die
Suddenly a roar interrupts the wolves
It is a lion's call
Now I shall surely meet my doom
Surrounded by preditors great and small
The wolves are silent, and slink away
The lion frightened them
So lion's dinner I will be
I brace myself for the end
But no lion comes my way
A large cat comes walking by
He lays down beside me
And gazes into my fightened eyes
Calm and firm is his gaze
It melts away my fears
I am no longer afraid
Now that he is near
I tell him of all that happened
He listens to me with solem face
I tell him how I wish
I did not have to be in this place
The night is no longer so alone
The cat stays with me
I stoke his soft, glossy fur
And soon nod off to sleep
always be humble and kind
Hey wild rose,
I really liked the mood that you created in this poem. I could vision the shadowy tombs shoulded by a chilling mist as I read the poem. Another fine addition to your collection of fine works.

this is a poem of Reepicheep (I think I got his name right), who stands at the head of the Dawn Treader and yearns to know what lies ahead
Dreams of Reepicheep
On this voyage I have come
One wish clings to me
To travel to the world's end
And discover what lies beyond the sea
When but I sapling I was
A song was sung to my cradle
That placed the desire in me
To the end of the world to sail
I wish, I wish to go
Where the water is sweet
For there I was told
Is the utter, utter east
Oh for this I live and dream
My one passion, my one goal
To find out what it all means
This is the longing of my soul
I don't know what lies ahead
But I look onward, ever on
My heart filled with hope
And my eyes towards the rising sun
always be humble and kind
I enjoyed reading your Reepicheep poem. I could vision the north wind blowing on Reeps face and whiskers as he gazes across the ocean and dreams of far away lands and heroic adventures.

thank you so much Windsong
here is another poem I recently wrote
Spring Dance
Wander into the woods of Narnia
When the trees begin to bud
When the snow begins to melt
And the sun shines warm above
Do you see her standing there
By the tree, near the hollow
Standing, softly, with a smile
Beckoning for you to follow
Do not be afraid, go to her
It's not into a trap she lures
There is no need for caution or fear
She is gentle, she is pure
A dryad of the wood
The spirit of a tree
And she calls for you
To come see the dance of spring
For every year in Narnia
When the trees are in full bloom
A dance is held in the meadows
Till the rising of the moon
Feel felicity, feel the joy
As they dance and sing
Praising Aslan in dance and song
For the coming of the spring
See them twirl, see them spin
See the dryad's hair flow
Hear the music of the fawns
Feel the soft wind blow
Sweetness fill the air
New life, new hope, new love
SOng of flowers that will bloom
SOng of trees tha bud
Winter may last long
But it will come to an end
Snow will thaw, disappear
Spring at last will descend
Come! See the dance, hear the song
Happy, joyful, playful, free
Come! The Narnians invite you to join
The annual dance of Spring
always be humble and kind
@wild-rose I am really fond of the Dryad poem, it conveys such a sense of happiness and freedom.
@silverlily thank you. It's been a long time since I updated anything here, but I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. Hopefully I'l be able to write some more sooner or later.
always be humble and kind
@wild-rose Whenever you're ready, it would be lovely to see more from you. Take care of yourself and your muse, yeah?
