WiP: 366 Days of Poetry - What's in a Tale?
This nonsense blended science fiction and fantasy poem came from playing with words... while I thought about what practical use stories had. What’s in a Tale? Jelly beans and juggernauts All dancing on a string Harpies fly the minuet And mermaids learn to sing Selkies shatter high notes Refusing to atone As minotaurs and bull men Butcher low notes with a moan Rockets fly the starlanes As if jet propulsion was a thing While starships catch the starwind On wide spread shimmer-wings. Of such images are stories made And sung with joy by bards To sink into our waking minds And haunt sleepers near and far.
