Iron Poet XI, Batch VI.
Hello, and welcome to the seventh batch of poems written for round eleven of Iron Poet, the game where you give me three words and wait patiently until I slog through the roughly thirty thousand requests to give you a poem. Okay, not really, but sometimes it can feel that way. Please remember, while waiting for a poem round-up, that this round comes immediately after the longest round in Iron Poet history: Iron Poet X, which ran from May 2006 to October 2007. So yes, it could be a while. Patience is a virtue that keeps your resident poet slightly closer to sane. But only slightly.
Today's poems include:
* Chant to the Turning Year for chatworthy. (Chant.)
* Hero's Primer for mightyhunter. (Heroic couplets.)
* Luck of the Draw for evilstmars. (Song form, Paper Moon.)
* Book of Hearts for alethea_eastrid. (Rondel.)
* The Way Home for mokatiki. (Rhythmic verse.)
* Undertow for liret. (Song form.)
* Tell the Story for coyotegoth. (Villanelle.)
* Magic Tricks for the_magician. (Free verse.)
* This Story's Yours for mpoetess. (Song form, The Orphan's Tales.)
* Cold Gray Sky for wcg. (Rhyming verse.)
This round is CLOSED to new submissions. I'll be opening a new round...someday. When I finish the various other things I have pending, and my personal madness allows.
