Poems by tabby - 2

[tabby]

Greetings, everyone.

From now on, this is where I'll be posting my poetry that I submit to the forums. My old thread can be found here: Poems by tabby with all 26 poems that I've submitted here since I made my account to today.

I have an idea I want to present and get people's opinions on. I am considering compiling my poetry that I have submitted to the forums into a digital book at the end of the year (or later - depending on things), which will be able to be downloaded for personal enjoyment by the members of the JoS. I am also considering the possibility of including some poems that I haven't submitted to the forums before and will only be included in the book itself - this isn't set in stone yet, however.

This will be a personal project I gradually work on depending on people's thoughts about it.

Please let me know if this is something anyone would be interested in and want a copy of. Cheers!

For today, to kick off this new thread, I want to honor Soaring Eagle 666, and thank him for his hard work.


The Bald Eagle


The wind calls my name in hushed whispers;
high on a cliff, I watch over all below.
Sol warms my back with his golden rays;
reflecting on my feathers, ever perfect and mellow.

A yearning I feel, to answer this call;
the current that lifts me higher and more.
It carries my voice through the valleys and hills;
as I smile with my eagle grin, evermore.

My talons kept me steady, balanced, and strong;
blades against these rocks, mighty and unyielding.
My wings, outstretched, glorious they make me;
lifting me into the noon-lit sky, I am soaring.

exciting poems tabby!

I hope you have time to work on the anthem too.
It wouldn't be complete without one of the best writers of us.

Thank you, that would be wonderful but HP said he has already written the words for the anthem, they just need composers for the music.

You know, this world needs more poetry that puts Father Satan in a good light.

That's exactly what your poems are doing.

Your work is very inspiring.

#28 Hell’s Palace

Before the gates, forged iron and steel,
silver in the dim lights of Hell’s flame;
these torches guide the way
with Hell’s dogs at my heel,
up a path who knew they could take,
crossing the threshold to make
a future for us, not one of slaves
but fighters and lovers, craftsman and cooks,
of mages and miracles, and knowledge beyond books.
I am filled with a rolling tremble
in my fingers, my soul, my earthly temple
walking the steps before Hell’s Palace
with my name in blood on parchment
I signed, and met he who they call the Devil,
and fell to one knee,
awestruck by his golden beauty.
