*****
Icicle windowpanes, shivering winter air
Kiddies inside, huddled close by the fire
Read from your magic book, Dear Aunt Elysabeth
Tell us a story from long, long ago
Blow the Viking ships over to Engle’ land
Charge up the mountain with sword and a shield
Battle the Romans with old Vercingetorix
Recite the poems form Venerable Bede
Sing us the songs that Grandfather left for you
Lyrics with pride of family bonds
Strum away gently Dear, upon you dulcimer
Saying the verses that you know so well…

Aye! Twas cold, so cold ye eyelashes
Froze to your cheeks...and could, but
Barely see the winter's Dragon round ye
Sails...then we knew twas a New Land...
For none we'd ever sailed had Dragons'
Frozen breath like yore...for we needed
Fire, but ice was all begotten...and land
We beached our Dragon on, left runes,
But not of us. We are no more than mist.
We are nothing more than myth, nothing
More than legend. Look for us below the
Sea. Look for Dragons above the waves.
Still the Dragons came on...still the Celts
Took flight...but, there was one deed done,
And nevermore, the Red Dragon won the
White...evermore to be Artur's Battle Sign.

Looks kinda sorta good, but I am a wee bit hung over with an alcohol induced mental fog at 6:41am. LOL Nope, I went to sleep just after midnight, only woke now to use the little boys room. Just gonna mess around here a bit before I go back to la la land.
Happy New Year

TD and Elyslund, this is much too esoteric for me on New Year's Eve. May your poetry ring through the land of myth and legend and into the current day for many years to come.

i'd think of it as more of a story the way you told it.
its okay though.it seems alot of thought has been put into it but not half as much emotion. good images though...very vivid in my head as i read it.
