A Year-End Post, Post Year-End

Hey readers, if you're patiently waiting to read my annual year-in-review, it will be coming tomorrow. I was busy running around today, doing some last minute friend time, and soon I will be heading to a New Year's Eve party. So late tomorrow, you will all be gifted with an enjoyable year-in-review post. Enjoy the end of one year and beginning of another.

Saga of the Silent Hero

So when I want to change my Facebook status but can't think of anything to say, I usually challenge myself to write something poetic or literary. The past few days, I started writing sestets of ten syllables. So far I've written three and shall continue writing until the story is complete. Here are the first three installments of The Silent Hero.

Deep in his sleep, the silent hero lies,

Awaiting his time to, at last, arise.

When the tower bell finally shall toll,

He will awake from his eternal lull.

Wiping the slumber from his pale, blue eyes,

His mind will recall its physical ties.

Forth went the hero, 'quipped with his blade.

Through mountain, river, swamp, forest, and glade,

He fought dragon, goblin, serpent, and more,

Until, at last, the city he was before.

Destruction painted the metrop'lis staid.

Nowhere could he find his belovéd maid.

So the hero searched and scoured the land,

Hoping to hold once more his love's soft hand.

No people he met, nor animal saw --

No voices' echoes, nor crow's chilling caw.

But then a note he found with one demand,

"You'll find what you seek in the desert sand."

Holiday Hullabaloo

Happy Holidays everyone. This year, I've got some musical treats for you all.






*Mainly because of the first lyric, plus I just love this song.





I could probably keep posting, but you probably have some last minute shopping to get done. Happy Holidays everyone.
