The Old Spell and the Witching Tree

[Jack7]

Because I've been on vacation this week (a working vacation, but still a vacation) I've been staying up all night most every night. Night is a more natural home to me than day.

And because of this lack of sleep finally caught up with me and I took a nap today. When I did (and my family is gone out of state, I'm here alone except for my Great Danes - so I meditated in the quiet before I slept) I had a dream. A very vivid one. I woke up and wrote it down as a poem.

So below I'm gonna post the poem. I thought given the people who visit this site it might appeal to some of you, and so I'm kinda interested in hearing what you say about it if you have an opinion one way of the other. And I'm open to criticism of the poem too if you wanna.

I'll leave the poem up a week or so. Then I'll take it down because I intend to publish it. But until then, if you wanna, tell me what you think of it.

Well, that's about the best I can get it to format.

Thanks to ROS for the XP, and to those of you who contacted me by email. Based on the comments I've been getting I'm gonna take it down now and start looking for a publisher.

Thanks again.

Jack.
