WHITE RABBIT! Whoo-hoo!
As a special treat for all of you (or a special nightmare, depending on how you look at it...) I made a vlog post to kick the month off with! What's a vlog post? A video blog post... And what is this vlog post about? NATIONAL POETRY MONTH! Yeah, that is this month! Check out the video to find out what I am planning to do this month in honor of NPM, and what you can do to join in on the fun! Then, check out my poem below the video, which I wrote for my sister about 5 years ago. It's pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. HEY! And don't forget to link up your blog post below as well! It is White Rabbit link up time again, after all! Oh... and beware of April Fools fools... It is that time of year. *looks around suspiciously* Fiddler of the Night
A lone shadow dances gaily under the moonlight
Playing a fiddle, prancing and dancing in the night The sight of her charms and her music sways hearts She plays for joy and pleasure, she leaps like a hart. ~ But lo another shadow comes with the sound of drum! He follows her shadow to and fro, beating with a steady hum. She leaps for joy, he spins in delight, following her every move They play together in the night, enchantment need not prove. ~ What sound now reaches ears? Another drum of the night? Its sound deep and strong, playing, growing with great might. Now two drummers of the night stand by the fiddle player They compete against each other to win her good favor. ~ She plays the melody with thriving joy, and they a steady beat She spins and dances while fiddling, and they drumming do meet They circle her and beat their drums while she plays the song Each hoping he’ll gain her interest, they beat drums loud and strong. ~ Ah now the test! The fiddler stops and suddenly changes tunes She leans close to one drummer to better hear his enduring boom Then she prances to the other to watch his drumming swell And dances when both past the test drumming along so well. ~ Now the fiddler plays a last note then vanishes from sight And the drummers weep and wane away in the closing night If one will sometime listen to the dark and calm night’s wind They may hear the drums and know that the fiddler did descend. |
