Aspersion.
'Tis densely rife
of once stalwart breath
heaviness
weighs upon thorny plunder
Thine own hand—
perchance spun of golden fate,
tied and earthbound— in verity of;
O'Ye hearts of thieving stardust
Thou art cast of iwis stone
and found lesser by jade(d) scruple
Aye, frozen just, to one's own sin
deepest thereinto
Such lies the crux, herein;
the marrow of the marrow
precarious, thee skirt'd twattle
tempted soft in lesser laud
as soothfast whisper's calms the air
slowly rising, defined beats asunder;
bleak in part is hollow
parted thereto in sorrow
flares obvious 'tis dark intent
still, I reign of fullest mighty
where thine own soul—
glows in esurient soulfulness
and blinded righteous,
those beastly eynes
kindly, from first thy purpose
beseeched pure,
my wings
betwixt valor and virtue
So fair,
thine ardent
streaming
colors–
streaked
of all and every violet promise

An attempt to try Old World archaic playfulness within my poem. I tried! 🤷🏻♀️

Don't worry about it, my friend ... me too... lol.
It's just a little something to see if I could actually write in this style and make something worth reading... 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks for reading and leaving your thoughts!
It's a pure kindness you show me :)

Dear BV,
So this is about a unicorn, right?
Noooooo! I’m just funnin’ ya! 😉
I think you’ve done a a magnificent job recreating eloquent writing. In and of itself it’s a lost art with so much by way of manners and civilized behavior.
Inner turmoil and strife abound. It’s hard to stay melancholy in this style because the words float the reader away. Can’t fib though, there are a lot of cool vocab words I’ve got to continue studying for the quiz on Friday.
Great write. Seriously, well done. I’m very impressed. H🌷

Re: Re. Aspersion.
I thank you for reading and I giggle in ref to your Fri quiz!!! hahaha 🤭... I felt the same way. I researched a bit but I'm sure I used some words in the wrong context... so no testing!!! lol...
I'm glad I could impress, that's sure a relief! This was just a whim I had to learn something new
I know there's a serious learning curve for myself and that this is a hard read to make heads or tails of.... I hope the gist comes through.... methinks?!.... lol....
Lovely comments, my dear lady
Your support is priceless

A literary fantasia of subtle and esoteric qualities that enchanted my mind. You juggled metaphors into a poem that exceeds mere versifying. You wove this into a magical combination of words that grasps me with the beauty of what poetry can be when it rises to the heights of composition.

.. and here I was just playing around with language and hoping not to make an utter fool of myself!! ....
Your summation has me exhaling my concerns, in a nice cleansing deep breath. Thank you for reading and appreciating my old english inspired attempt to beautify a darker piece of poetry....
I was very very hesitant to publish, so I very much appreciate your thoughtful comments and the list add, John.
All my warmest regards and deepest gratitude,

Your poem is to poetry what Pollock's paintings are to art. The intimate deeper aesthetic qualities like abstract art where the form becomes the beauty. I love what you wrote here my friend.

hahaha... I get that completely! I know it might have been kinda difficult to get through. It's more the fluidity of the language, anyway... lol...

My gratitude is yours, kind sir... ;)

It is rare that a poem totally takes me away ... pulls me in ... lulls me into an awaken sleepwalk ... this is such a poem ... so fluid ... timeless in its voice ... mystic ... mythic ... after I read it I had to stop ... think about the perfect musical accompaniment ... I am a big New Age music fan ... David Arkenstone is one of my favorites ... "Ancient Legend" is one of his most moving pieces ... I found it a nice soundtrack to my rereading ... excellent work dear B ... loved all of the sibilance ... the layout is pleasing to the eye ... cadence was perfect ...

I can't help but be breathless by your comments, LilD. I do my best to keep myself busy learning by trying new things, when it comes to writing. My success rate there usually is low but at least I know that I can improve upon an existing attempt... Your inspirational words and feedback have me motivated and truly appreciative that I might have been able to convey my thoughts via this archaic language with a small sense of what I was trying to achieve.... I listened to Ancient Legend as I read it as well... thanks for that!... I let YouTube music play and Arkenstone really pulled me in with some of his songs..... carrying me away.... I love that, so.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, the generosity of your feedback, the list add and incorporating support and motivation into my day when I really needed to feel it.... I am so grateful for you 🙏🏻
Much love and respect,

"O'Ye hearts of thieving stardust"
Loved your approach to this. It reads like a timeless classic, written a hundred years ago, standing the test of time.
Excellent work Blue.
