I'm so glad you can't copyright a title =)
/me suddenly wonders how many poems exist entitled "The Word"
here's mine, just because I think it'd be interesting to have two poems of the same title in the same thread, and because I haven't posted any poems in here. All of mine so far have been in my "Waters of Life" thread...
?The Word"
The flow A wave in my soul An ebbing tide A waning moon Leaving words in my mind Words that bear a message A new set of text A new definition A new set of concepts Those foreign to the rest These concepts acquire clarity The thought acquires meaning My spirit is alive in every fiber of my being I am that I become I become that I feel I feel that which is eternal The eternal is the ethereal The ethereal is a thought A thought is... The word.
Aaediwen, I have to say "The Word" is honestly one of your greatest pieces for it evokes what every person goes through, especially writers. Getting it to the page with all your heart is all that counts, and you have accomplished that in many ways, good friend!
I also have to add that Chele's works are quite beautiful! The imagery is exquisite, I must say. Your use of meter and the written word is very pleasing indeed!
I have a tiny splinter of a newer piece that I started on Wednesday, I do believe. Aaediwen spied it and thought it a dandy little entree! It is basically Celtic ballad I had swimming around in my musical fish bowl of a mind...sometimes, these ideas come to me while humming a tune or plucking my guitar. Anyway, enjoy!
The sounds from the mountains Drifting out over Heaven Fell upon all dale and glen On the night of her return
Through wood and meadow she walks alone Embracing the realms where the seas once flowed Her music still whispers between the stars Whilst her beauty still lives in our hearts
I'll open my eyes and sing to my love Yes, I'll follow her long, flowing gown From the northern-most lands to the halls of my lord I will sing of my dear maiden's crown
Through fire and tempest she threads her song Fulfilling the works of her kin and their throne Her music lifts my heart up to the sun In her kingdom remains only one

That said, I've been working with Haldur on additions to the piece he posted above. I heard a stream to go with it as I read it, so I just started writing. The end result between the two of us follows:
"The Last Sidhe Queen" By: Josh Felty and Anthony Creech
The sounds from the mountains Drifting out over Heaven Fell upon all dale and glen On the night of her return
Through wood and meadow she walks alone Embracing the realms where the seas once flowed Her music still whispers between the stars Whilst her beauty still lives in our hearts
I'll open my eyes and sing to my love Yes, I'll follow her long, flowing gown From the northern-most lands to the halls of my lord I will sing of my dear maiden's crown
Through fire and tempest she threads her song Fulfilling the works of her kin and their throne Her music lifts my heart up to the sun In her kingdom remains only one
Her return, it whispers of times long gone of spells, of parties, and of songs sung Back she comes to her barren land her image, a memory, along the strand
'Tis her I'll follow, through her lost world to be with her, as change is unfurled To hear her song, on the wind Calling through time, to her lost kin
To be with her, in these sad days As stories she tells, of those lost ways Walking the strand, of a sea long dry Walking with her, yet she does not cry
Cutting the air, her endless song rings Sounding the ages, as the Bean Sidhe sings The last of her kind, she's returning home With her I'll stay, and she'll not rule alone
Ruler of her barren land, now this is she Lost now, are all her kin, all her kin but me Ruler of a land that was, before the age of man A memory now of time long gone, a memory in the sand

Very nice.... Sad but very nice. It reminds me of the elves leaving Middle Earth, as the age of the Elves fades away.... It also subconsiously brings to mind the many culture that have been lost through exploration, missionaries and so on.... It is sad to see cultures lose their identity.....
I, too, am very much enjoying all this wonderful poetry. Such talented people. And loved reading "The Last Sidhe Queen." Awesome,Aaediwen.
Chele, you know how much I love fairies, but you'll always be the Fairy Queen. Am really anxious to read about the Selkies now. Have just recently been reading about them. In fact, I saw an Irish movie on TV not too long ago called "Roan Inish" about a selkie child. Did you see that? It was awesome!
