Fathoms Below

Tune: Romen

Meter: 4-8-8

Title: Fathoms Below


Waves run deep

Calm below

River far beyond us.

Ocean falls

Behind the staff

Eternity to bind us.

Waiting now

The air to gasp

With gate too far to swim.

No pilot for the vessel.

Tentacles at whim.

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!

Child Valda's Wheelright

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...
