Everman was everthere at Evermore with everone
And faeries danced on lightning strokes
Enchanting all the largest blokes
Til Eustice captured one by wing and tail
Evermore was eversad at everthing in evertime
And hollered fits in ancient tongues
Shout the curse from ladder rungs
And searchers took no time to unfurl sail
EverKing was everkind but everspoke of nevermore
That man and light will ever meet
Dance in kind in the village street
Forever hidden masked by magic’s’ veil
Hey, a little soundcloud playlist thingy! How did you do that? The Fit is still my favourite :)
ReplyDeleteAnd how cool is this poem? Everman was everthere at Evermore with everone... Too, too clever.
I'm poem-jealous of this one, as Izy would say!
I agree with Kerry, very clever write. Evermore a fairy tale. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is extremely clever!
ReplyDeleteI love the play on words and the last stanza and line to be specific is really striking! Nice write!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative play of words..I like everything :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your music playlist...very nice ~
Is that your voice? Please tell me if its you, you sound very cool ~
anything that evokes feelings of reading about those rapscallions in Neverland is a win for me. i love the rhythm and rhymes in this! feels like you could go on and write many more stanzas of this story.
ReplyDeleteI also love the rhythm of this. It might be titled "Effervescence lost" but the rhythm makes my blood tingle effervescently.
ReplyDeleteI listened to (surprise, surprise) "You Smell Like Mexico" and I love your guitar—sounds Mexican but not Spanish, if you know what I mean.

I SO love this. It is like a poem from way back, love the format, the lilt and rhythm.......and wow! your music is WONDERFUL!!!!! You have an excellent voice, and play very well, too. So talented!
ReplyDeleteLove this line: "And faeries danced on lightning strokes" :)
ReplyDeleteThis is way to close to a tongue twister for me... I "stuttered" over it just reading it silently. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the play on words! I agree it is a tongue twister.
ReplyDeleteI loved this as well. You can feel the effervescence in the words!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully unique capture of effervescence!!! I loved the images and the rhythm, so well-composed and effective. Nifty, spiffy, and very, very cool!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing. This makes me want to reread A Midsummer Night's Dream...and anyone who can evoke Shakespeare in me deserves applause! Probably my favorite poem of yours I've read yet.
ReplyDeleteLots of great alliteration and rhyme... thanks so much for taking part in the challenge!
