Cosmos' Benediction
Of wormholes
And hyperboles,
Of mispronunciation
Of sci-fi,
And of grammar,
And of fun-facts by the dozen
Of kites
And cars,
Kaleidoscopes,
Of one-syllable states
Of Maine,
And of Chicago
(Windy City's good for kites.)
Of Thunderbirds
And Firebird,
and little sprites a-plenty
Of pirate girls,
And magic pearls,
And blackbirds five and twenty
Of battles waged
In yonder age,
Of Troy and Trojan horses
Of many itty-bitty things,
And things of great wide courses
Of fairy dust
And sacred trust,
Of circumnavigation
Of wild lore
And iron ore,
Of water-bird migration
Of everything
Of ground and wing,
Of cloud, of tree, of river
I bless you,
Hope to keep you
safe from sorrowing forever.

The Greenhorn Parnassian
Hi! I'm a random high school student from Example, USA (which means that I'm not supposed to be giving out personal info to other random people on the internet). I like writing, reading, astronomy, biking, Ireland, Canada, the outdoors, and more! I wish I could snowboard, and live in the country, and have an adventure. And I wish I could see real wolves, moose, and other Northern animals. I like to experiment with different poetry types, and I especially like to write poems with unique rhythms and rhyme schemes. One of my favorite poems is "Errantry", by J. R. R. Tolkien. I hope you enjoy my poems, and critique them, please! Thanks!
