RE: Thursday's Poetry Challenge - Exploring Legend

in The Ink Well5 years ago

The Ballad of Morveren - #loveit!! - Fantastic imagery and awesome story, and the rhyme and rhythm, put it right in league with my old favorite, Poe's Annabel Lee. It's the form employed in oral tradition, easy to remember. Even my mom, who hated school and didn't like reading, memorized and recited to us at bedtime The Ballads of Sam McGee by Robert Service. I only memorized parts of it, but now I feel compelled to commit all of it to memory. How did I not read this post sooner? I saw the submissions but somehow missed this. You're the best, Raj! Steemit is blessed to have a writer and poet of your caliber AND with your Master-Builder organizational skills, you'll set the world on fire. Ooh, I see smoke on the horizon--the fire is growing already! GO RAJ!
