Old poem...

I'm not a poet. I like poetry, but I'm not good at writing it. I do have this small idea to write a poem for each chapter in my novel with a poem -- something small like a modified hiaku that I could work into being part of the culture of the land the fantasy is set in.

Anyhow, in my recent effort to organize my life, I have been sorting through all my old story files and ran across a poem I wrote once, many moons ago. It was the basis for a novel I started and then abandonedset aside.

I've always like the poem. I read it to Myr and she liked it, too, so I thought I'd share.
