We the poets of the Lair, thank all who support us.
We hope to be here a long time, singing our songs
riding the stars, writing our own visions, and best of all,
loving all who continue to lurk and visit here over the years.
 We write of love, we write of war,
we write of sorrow,
we write of Knights and Kingdoms from before,
we write of drawing down the moon,
scarlet robes, and gossamer, kismet, serendipity, serenity,
and days of grace, filled with woodsy space
ancestors wrinkled ragged and bold
horror stories from our own past
hauntings from the bog with screaming banshee
voices on the wind
and of the wind loud and sassy
tinkling brass, silvered nights with star strewn paths.
We write songs of happiness, songs of grief
songs of anger and relief.
Our poets take pictures along their walk
post them here for all of us to gawk
and ohh and aw about the mystery of another land.
With all of life's hard times, pushes and shoves
we poets remain above the fray to write
in the sunlight of another new day,
and take a chance on a little romance
in The Land of Glen Gaul Way.
And know that in the dead of night,
WayzataJohnn will be stopping by to steam up the Lair
with a senusous poem, or tell a hair raising tale from
his life as an Navy Vet, a Cowboy, a Husband, and
best of all a very good friend of all of us here.

We are the richer for your poetic skills!
It's so much fun reading each poet and their special way of writing.
To: bentfeather
Star's pictures got me to thinking, and this sprang to mind,
Duty First
Temple dogs and Dragons fierce
with duty long and faithful
guard secrets hidden oh so careful
behind deception hard to pierce
Such subtle secret lives they lead
as night slips silent over day
for then in private do they play
or take time the ancient laws to read
By day they stand as still as stone
and watch in silent duty there
let us honor them with special care
for their strength to stand alone

Oh that is good! You know I have been knocking around an idea with one of starbase's picture too. They are really good for inspiration, IMHO.
To: bentfeather
Some of them are quite interesting, sort of a focal point for the imagination. My thanks to Star, for his viewpoint enhances my own imagination. Perhaps others here will try a poem based on a picture.
