This is another example of just hearing a couple of words somewhere and a whole poem growing from there. This one is a departure from my usual themes but I felt that a change would be good.
Poet's Spell - 01 Dec 10
The piper plays
A merry tune
But within it lies
A hidden melody
Carrying a secret
From ancient days
The choir sings
Tells of days
From whence the mystery
Comes
And grows
Within the sacred grove
The piper and the minstrel
Duet
Offer the words
To charm the trees
And wrest the
Ancient stones to dance
Mortal ears can hear
If they choose
But so often
Will ignore
The song before them
And the choir falls silent
Who will join the poet now
To weave the words
To bind the song
And allow the melody
To grow again
And charm the world
I wonder if this fits into any other sequence of poems I have written - I suspect that the answer is yes and it may be a way of rekindling the energies in them.
