I do not recommend getting drunk on mead. Mead is fantastic and all, but it's so sweet that if you drink too much you start feeling sick. You don't feel so hungover in the morning as simply nauseous.

Clawing Silver

To befriend a beautiful cat that isn't yours
Is like falling in love with a pretty wh-re.
It's to know you're not the only whisperer of her name,
Not the only one who strokes her hair, but all the same,
Your love she takes as credit and she will owe you only pain,
The day you see your lover hearken to another's call
And she leaves you feeling foolish and betrayed.
Still her claws like silver thorns whisper a name into your skin,
Ever closer to your heart, and with purrs still draws you in.

Edit History

As wiry strength begins to fail,
the moment of farewell draws near,
and soon the fountain of Wikipedian lore
shall flow with the fell news
that knowledge has fallen
and all is now "was" that was "is" before.

The Doctor is playing Radagast!

Also, I'm pleased that they're making it in three parts now, because they'll be able to put in lots more stuff they wouldn't otherwise be able to. Can you really imagine they'd ever get funding to make a film about Dol Guldur? But this is a sneaky way of doing just that.

Good stuff. You have great control over your style.

I particularly like Ambition. Conveys a familiar notion very well.

Just not been feeling too inspired lately, and I didn't want to force it. Trying to finish up some older poems, though.

Thanks, kaleidoscopicmind!
