Courted: a dirge (funded!)

[shweta_narayan]

Clarion 2010 has started -- and we've made the funding threshold for Courted: a dirge, with some extra rolling over for the next poem!

So -- here it is, posted a litle early because I'll be in a car at noon.

(ETA: tithenai  darlingly provided the title; I still didn't have one for it as of last week.)

Courted: a dirge
for Amal

When ice -- mere lace on tree

Didn't have a chance to fund this one as my credit card is right at its brink, but I'll be in for good money soon as I fix that (Tomorrow is the plan).

Especially if the others are half this good. Eeeeeeee.

Thank you back! :)

Yay!

I just don't get why so many poetry venues are loathe to accept rhyming poems. I mean, I understand why they're thoroughly sick of badly-rhymed doggerel, but when you get a rhyming poem that's really well-done like this, there's nothing to top it.

[shweta_narayan]

Thank you!
But ... uh... I understand it's because when one gets as much badly-rhymed doggerel as the slush piles hold, one starts to develop an allergy :)

Oooh, this is so beautiful! You don't know me, but we were both in Goblin Delirium. I came here via tithenai's post and thought I'd say hello :)

Hallo! Thank you for coming by, and I'm really glad you like it!

I'll (hopefully!) be posting poems every mon/thurs for the next 6 weeks. I should really do a reference post about it...

[shawnalenore]

Cool! I look forward to more :)
