I've never done NaPo before, and I won't have time to write much in April, but my goal is to write 5 at least this year. I'm not really a poet but recently I've been inspired...so I suppose I'll go with it. I have a vague theme of freedom and nature with a dash of magic thrown in.

Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Oromë the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young. - The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

~ What does the bird say? ~


When nest is gone and brush is burned
When trees have fallen down
What does the crow, the dove, or the jay
Say when they roost all alone?

When house is built and people come
To live where the birds reside
They bring their dogs and cats and rats
To tear down new nests in the spring


What does the heron or lonely owl
See at night when all are in bed?
Lights and fuel and speeding cars
Where the streams of frogs and fish used to be

Humans must live no matter the cost
Despite the birds and the trees
They take what they want and forget what was lost
From sky, wind and sea


Long will crow and dove and jay
Wait for their home to return
When green will grow and smoke fade away
Never more to be burned

~ Half a Tail ~

My tail was always white as snow
Like Shadowfax or Silver
And it was always my human’s job
To braid it nicely for shows

Even though she pulled my hair
I didn’t really mind
She’d always give me mints and treats
To make it up to me

Even when we didn’t win
Or score in any shows
It never mattered because I got mints
From my favorite human’s hand

But today they cut my tail
Well, it wasn’t sad for me
I get to see a whole new pasture
That’s full of apple trees

And though my tail is cut and tangled
I’m really not upset
For all good horses go to heaven
With half a tail left

The other horses had humans too
So I’m sure they’ll understand
Why half my tail is back at home
In my favorite human’s hands

My life's goal is to end up between YWS quotes on bottom of the page, so some part of me will be able to live forever here.
