FAIRY FORTS / RING FORTS

In the distance on
the hills fairy forts
formed in rings
choked in brambles
lost in time amidst
their reason lays a line .

An age old power sprung
forth formed a flower spirit
light once all in sight, then
now a myth

Pagan passages in pagan
times has formed mystic
twisted find .

Dear Edd

Delightfully enchanting. I can see it in my mind's eye and I would love to be there in what you describe. Nothing about this poem needs improving, from where I sit. Always, Cat

First, spell check, :the c in chocked, Choked. Forth, you left out H, and now down to earth. i loved this, it took me back to my younger, way younger, age of story telling. I could sit for hours listening to this sort of tale. A rello actually has gone back to the way of the pagan, interesting stuff, she is a wiccan and even though she does not say a lot about her practices and beliefs, she has the most gentlest soul, when she was young, she was a bitch. But we all need something to believe in and I believe I love this piece. Love Lyz. XX

Hi

I am sorry, I meant the fort where you were meant to write spring fortH. I see you fixed it anyway. I did not let you know properly. You oughta be proud of this one, I really enjoyed it. I thought before I go to bed i would look in. We went to the doggy day fair , meat raffles and had chinese, and with the day being so hot this arv, tired us out. have a good week. Love Lyz. XX

Came to this of late

I really like this , an early write for you and I am sure you would weave the words in different pattern now but none the less a lovely feel to it...I am partial to them myself and have several 'special ' local ones. Seabhac
