You are about to suffer a brain melt because these rock
The Celestial Dance
Light upon the water plays
Until the night sky comes
and takes all the sun's rays
but bide your time for soon light will come
and take the night away in their eternal dance
~Michael Kane
Epitaph for Veil Sixclaw
Outcast of Redwall
Poisoner of Friars
For Villainy was your call
Now you lay under briers
~Michael Kane
Epitaph for the Warriors of Aerltum Squirrelking
Slaughtered by the Savage one
In the service of a fool
you did not run
now your bodies are cool
~Michael Kane
Michael, The Theif
I look upon the gems of rain
as all the water starts to drain
left behind the gems on leaves
tempting the cunning thief
so I shall try upon this day
to take a droplet as my prey
~Michael Kane
Carefree Yellow Butterfly
A yellow butterfly wanders to and fro
As I wondered where it goes
I looked into it's mind so carefree
It does not wonder about you or me,
It flies only to feed not to wonder
~Michael Kane
Redwall
The red walls of our home
have long welcomed the weary,
come inside the tended loam
eat, drink, and don't be so dreary
~Michael Kane
Martin the Warrior
Warrior of Redwall
Nightmare of vermin
Woodlanders flocked to your call
If only you had left kin
~Michael Kane
Bella Daughter of Boar
Mother of Sunflash the Mace
Badger Mother of Redwall
You opened the door of your home
Peace was written on your silver face
~Michael Kane
Skarlath the Kestrel
Eyes of Sunflash,
taught the badger not to me rash
Lord in your own right
High master of flight
~Michael Kane
When crud hits the fan,..... Step back
you've successfully gotten me interested in reading redwall. now i just have to finish reading the dark tower series by stephen king, the james bond books by ian fleming, a bunch of stuff by hg wells, anne lamott's new book, q ko-chan and flcl mangas, cromartie high school mangas....but then i can get right down to reading redwall.
ps...there's a comic book being published monthly right now called the mice templar. it's awesome. i don't know if it's even like redwall in anyway but it's great.
oh, i wanted to ask, in your poem about the carefree butterfly, there seems to be a tone of longing/envy for the butterfly's ability to live a life without worry but then the last line reads as almost harsh in it's contrast with the previous four lines. i guess i'm asking was that intentional? and which interpretation is the right one?
I didn't even notice it just seemed to fit
Now for the mandatory mess with y'alls heads time My critically acclaimed
Redwall Epitaph series is about to under go a boom I'm going back through and writing them again in AABB, ABCA, ABBA, and ABBC format be afraid, be very afraid.
