"rule of the mob" Demokratia

in the first line of the last stanza - "your gait..." and the object of the 'calling out to' is found in the title. I know it was a somewhat difficult child, this poem. Thanks for tolerating it and allowing it your time and feedback. Cheers, CB

and this is a marriage between Yoda and Olde English influences. Thank you for that poetic response.
I see how the poem had got to you! I am deeply grateful for your immersion and donning the cloak. Now it is time to uncloak and return to character. See you round the site :-)

I thus be
And ere kindly
Endebted to thee.
By bonnie verse besotted,
A brazen vessel betwixt
Each bosom re-fuelled.

Well be spewing pirate lingo!
Thanks man, there's a million & one reasons to smile!

as if our days had never known rain.
We await that low pressure area that is meant to be forming off the Coral Sea.
And the images of devastation in Bundaberg brings back haunting memories of 2011.

I haven't read Treasure Island in decades. I have both a hardbound and a paperback copy somewhere in storage. I may have one in e-book format, also in storage (what is called a cloud) Maybe I shall gather enough impetus to read it again, one of these days...

I too love that line. There is something about the discipline wedded with art and fuelled by a passion for life and desire for perfection that brings ballet to life in a very poetic way. This is why we probably still watch the Nutcracker every Christmas. Lol.

I've only seen the Russian Ballet once, but have watched other renditions, even cartoon ones which my kids prefer!

Who needs flying when we can float. We all float!
But I relish in the range & variety of your cultural curriculum (?) for lack of a more apt term.
Few can confess & profess such. Eclectic & extreme in its features.
