We stood as stone

I made a separate item for my inauguration poem I posted in my blog 3 weeks ago: "Inauguration" 

We stood as stone

When on the plains of Aroth
they fought around us,
we stood as stone,
peered down to where
green ichor flowed
from godless ranks.
We moaned:
so silly to seek to rule
these graveyards.
We stood still
until the soil reclaimed them.
All-the-same,
old stones move slow.
We roamed among their rubble then,
their crumbling cities,
bold towers proclaiming fame.
I no longer remember their name.
Do you dear friend?
We were the only witnesses
to the end of all they claimed.
I knew then we'd always be together; that,
that pain and loneliness we shared
would last eternities.
Oh, Zmitri,
remember how we stood as stone,
until we too became as stardust
scattered among their bones.

If I can put enough together ... perhaps my booklet can come out by end of February. Zo, I zketch Zmitri poems. Truly ... I write whatever is on my mind.

BLAH BLAH BLAH:

#$%^&* INVERSION! Ah ... feel better now.

The grey skies did part by 4 pm and I went for a walk along the river taking pics of Mts. Jumbo and Sentinel and other stuff.

I was at Butterfly Herbs talking to Kathy when this celestial event occurred. I told everyone there was this bright shiny yellow thing in the sky!

So ... anyhoo, Kathy moved to Missoula around the same time I did. She thinks this will be a good place for her creatively. She draws and writes and is working on illustrations for a dragon story her daughter wrote. Funny how creative people end up here. Sun-lovers, however, usually leave for the winter.

PROMPT OF THE DAY:

"If pimples had pupils, would scalpels have scruples? A silly thought of mine!
