the morrigan

thou cursed witch of foulest fen!
thy rage burns the blood of men.

no hands thy raven tress dared touch -
yet thy proud stone heart dared much.

men sought nearly thy wisdom store -
men paid dearly for fatal lore.

more thy dreadful vengeance spread,
more thy price exact in red.

*does first comment dance* Sorry, my dances are a little more enthusiastic, but it's really early in the morning where I'm from and I'm not my usual morning self. It's a lovely poem. I really like it. It's short, but the way you pieced the words together was lovely. It sounded haunting and I love it. Good job and keep up the great work.

Another wonder. One thing, though, waaht's with the title? Is the witch queen named Morrigan, or did I miss something, or what?

:-) Christopher Benson Manica replies: "The Morrigan was a Celtic goddess - among her domains was vengeance, and she often chose to appear as a raven. She was definitely a witch-queen 2"

There's an excellent choice of words in this poem! To me, every descriptive word (adjectives and adverbs) gives off a certain mood or feeling and the choice of words in this poem practically THROB of maliciousness. Captivating!

Nice to see someone getting their 'thees' and 'thou's' right *grin*
I love the image of Morrigan you created, she's always been a favorite of mine ^^

:-) Christopher Benson Manica replies: "Isn't Morrigan cool? 2 She's a real goddess, not like those Greek ones... I do pride myself on my mostly correct use of archaic language. Thanks!"

You are a magician with words! I love the way you can convey so much in so few words.

:-) Christopher Benson Manica replies: "To paraphrase Tolkien, the praise of the praiseworthy is a great reward - thank you for the high compliments! 1"

This has to be the gayest thing I have ever read. But from a socialist I would expect nothing else.
