Title: Ariel's Lament

Edaline Maruca Salt,
Candle floating nearer,
Flame below, second birth,
Mountain growing stiller. 
Yama break the crown away!
arching at the feet of day.
Climbing, hair tight, wispy bun, 
So Manly in our dungeon.
Injured Cable, bleeding bed,
Briar breaking through me
Southern atmospheric lens
symphony to hear it.

Tune: Egwene Meter: 12 Title:  Ageless Annie Mae At 12:00 is Annie Mae's nap, Sheet pulled over, cheeks to pat. At half past noon, it's time to zoom. Tico, her man, on standby again. At 1:00, banana and egg, At two, ooh, don't bite me boo. Then at three, playtime with me, We sing our songs and kiss along Four of course it's spray and sheet, Hydration... Such a feat! Dinner time, legumes and attack!  Scuze me honey? You want wanted a whattie?  Well early to bed and early to rise,  These rings! those golden eyes.  Interpretations:  The poem is a commentary on the show. It is as fictional as the show in that we only have inference to Valda’s view of catching the Amyrlin Seat. It switches perspectives amongst him, Egwene, and Perrin. I wrote about my attempts to bond with my new parrot Annie Mae as foreshadowing for Valda fantasizing the reverse - breaking the victim and her bonded warder. In poetry the opposites are meant to be poignant symbols. It begin...

Tune: Jack and Jana                                 Meter: 1-9-.360 The Heroine and the Crown  A long, long, time ago, I can barely remember, A baby, pushing in a VHS™. Well, I rocked the second on my lap, saw him as straight from heaven.  And The Doctor, well, maybe He agreed.  Next tried to leave my marriage, Then decided on a baby carriage.  So many big decisions all around.  Now I'm starting to remember, Dreamed him in a Boxy Mirror; Cast a spell and, make no mistake  My bird popped on out and coached player 1 thru   every sport in town. So, who is it that needs savin'?  iPad down, no misbehavin'.  Wave the wand you'll hear that harpie sigh! The day, my Luna cried. So! High! Mr. Moon landing guy.  Plucked her marrow with an arrow Shyly batted those eyes Just kiss your wife and let a pineapple die- Swearing this'll be the night we stand by! This'...
