Pride, my stallion charger
With the finely-crested neck.
He who balks against submission,
He who storms and can't forget.
He who thunders to his own defense
And screams a bitter battle call,
Squealing like the skewered swine,
Made mortal by a slight offense.
Pride, my gorgeous nightmare steed,
Who smatters all my earthly chains.
On fiery wings he bears me high,
And madly frothing to conquer the sky,
His very rider he'd seek to devour,
This blinded cannibalizer of power,
So 'ere the end of each fatal ride,
I murder my stallion, my bittersweet Pride.
With the finely-crested neck.
He who balks against submission,
He who storms and can't forget.
He who thunders to his own defense

Squealing like the skewered swine,

Pride, my gorgeous nightmare steed,
Who smatters all my earthly chains.
On fiery wings he bears me high,
And madly frothing to conquer the sky,
His very rider he'd seek to devour,
This blinded cannibalizer of power,
So 'ere the end of each fatal ride,
I murder my stallion, my bittersweet Pride.

Magic Lesson
She had everything they thought they would need to impress a spell guild instructor. Robes, a hat and a staff. Of course, the robes had been tailored by the finest seamstress in the port of Chalserra, spun from fashionable blue silk and cloth of gold in spite of her flaming hair. The hat was wide brimmed and pointed. Mother had had a fit of how passé it was, but father had assured her that it was the proper style for a wizard and all of the household servants had agreed; not that that their opinions mattered to mother. The staff was of fine mahogany and topped with a ruby the size of a pigeons' egg, crafted by the apprentic

equinox
here is an observation of what I learn annually of the seasons suspended in equinox—
spring: leaves flapping like tiny banners, exposing their paler underbellies in the grip of the gale;
winds chiming like the splash of water, metal against metal against birdsong
the briefest of them all, a breath of innocence sweeping by
a reminder, just as fleeting as new life
summer: heat clinging, oppressive and smothering, like a second skin
clouds languishing white and billowing, puffs of locomotive smoke, over
emerald treetops, tufts of green sheltering the sky blue crocuses
which lift their tentative heads to the golden fingers of the sun

The Witching Hours
Night climbs slowly up the spires
Tow’ring above still, silent streets.
At last have come the witching hours
When ghosts and goblins dare to meet!
The gargoyles and the ghouls all prance
In gutters where the children trod
At day before a yawning trance
Did send them to the Land of Nod
The witches trade potions for spells
To keep the creeping spiders out,
Much like farmers from green dells
Ask merchants, “How much for a dozen trout?”
The poltergeists ascend the towers
And sing like choirboys all the way,
Then fly to the bells and ring out the hours
Before night will be lost to day.
But alas, the dark must end sometime,
