FICTIONS
From reckless fictions of the mind,
world’s martial nations still depart:
therein the falsehood of Mankind.
They feign cruelty to be kind,
chastened with tears and severed heart,
from reckless fictions of the mind.
Shouting glory, yet beauty-blind,
forever fair their poisoned dart,
therein the falsehood of Mankind.
Yesteryear, in distress aligned,
crusading with celestial chart,
from reckless fictions of the mind.
Gracious, thus far in truth unkind,
so starkly wise they’ll not restart,
therein the falsehood of Mankind.
Embellished knaves, heroic, blind,
warring their true Thespian art;
from reckless fictions of the mind:
therein the falsehood of Mankind.

Thank you for your entry into Odin's Opposition!
Perhaps you'll rise up, drink from the Well of Wisdom and be crowned the 'bringer of victory'?
Best of luck in the battle!

Congratulations Sylvia on your Silver placement!
You have risen up, drank from the Well of Wisdom and have been crowned the ‘bringer of victory’!
Well done!
Oh my, what a lovely surprise for a Sunday morning! I really must thank the patient poets in MM's R&F forum who've shoved me in the direction of better form....
Thank you, All!
Hugs, Syl***
