To Europe

A glorious past, and future more than full. From salt Atlantic - crowning Caucasus, from crystal tundra - undulate Sahara, united, softly spoken languages. Creed cannot matter here, for all are true or false, or useful, superstitious too. Race will not care here: European though saturnine, blond, or black, blue irises. No eagle empire with its rending conquests, you thoughtful country of a peace expansion. A murmuring glade, your loose bounds lasting longest of any bloody map yet drawn by nation. In Story's steaming alleys you'll stand tall - a home of many mansions: room for all

The Croat card player - a ballad

I know a skilful little man, by name of Crumbly-Pilchard. He spends his days upon the baize and nights he fumbles Richard He is a wizard with his Dick, though hearts don't always break We gaze amazed at his great length and wish he'd down his stake A boy should know, a boy should learn that though he may have skill, the enemies he makes in life can kick him till he's shrill Don't target me, O little man or I will rhyme you sore, and every time I see your mug I'll come and kick you more

In memoriam: Marywin Gibbons (1926-2015)

You left in April, Mary, dear; we're gathered here today to say goodbye, to say farewell, to say we loved your stay on Earth you ne'er believed in Heav'n but light ran through and through all your dealings here with us. Goodbye. Farewell. Thank You.

Kipling's Ass

The Hun is at the gate! A driven foe, I know you love to hear how Germans die. for body, soul an iron sacrifice. 'Ach Kamerad' they cry, then squeal like stoats. Atrocities engorged as scarlet crazy squirts spawn about the corpses of old toads; menagerie of carrion and waste shambles across a century of crows. And then, in boiling shards of poignant beauty, (wolves graze, and dust becomes the serpent's meat) through a becalmed and still reflective maunder, (trusting a day there shall be no more shooting) erupt emotions - soaring, wheeling fleets, leap into hope that even war surrender.
The Songstone, Canto I: The Tower is published today. A free copy from: Smashwords But Kora sat unmoving, in great magic.  The walls, her home, faded about her. Warmth went; all alone and on a freezing plain, dressed in a tunic, sharp knife in her belt, bow on her shoulder, arrows in a quiver  behind. Her eyes gleamed; a pale cold light, ˈlɪmpɪd ɪn ˈdʌlnəs She looked around. Away, at vision’s limit, a dark shape rose above the plain: a Tower, the only thing in all this barren place: no bird flew, no grass grew. Despite the wool  she shivered. Breath-clouds hung in the raw air, ˈsləʊli dɪˈzɒlvɪŋ Then in eye’s corner something moved. She turned to gaze across the Waste and saw a Cloud. Far, almost straight behind her as she faced the Tower, it too reared up black and sheer. Unlike the Tower, moving, whirling, wisps trailing their tentacles around a core, ˈtwɪstɪŋ ɪnˈseɪnli
