A sonnet for an epic fantasy setting.
This is a lovely poem. A few days after reading, that opening line kept lilting on in my head, so I had to come back and read it again.
Thank you so much for your kind words Susanna. I thoroughly enjoyed working on this lilting rhythm, and I'm glad to hear it snared a few readers!
"moon's chagrin" is an interesting image. I like it!
Thanks Mark!
Great work Peter! very consistent metre. And I love these lines, "And all the world is inside-out, a husk/That stumbles neither dead nor much alive." they sparked a very vivid image of the barren autumn woods
Cheers Thomas!
Thanks so much Nadia! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
