flayhainprince of a thousand enemies!
we are your children, swift and bright!
through all the hrair centuries
this hain we air by Inlé's light;

we are your children, swift and bright;
warrened marlil and hlessil.

warrened marlil and hlessil,
we seek silflay so wearily.

prince of a thousand enemies!

So Close and So Far AwayBetween the trees
And the telephone wires
The golden moon
Hangs low in the sky.
It looks so close to me,
Like I could
Close my hands around it.
If I could pluck it
Down for you,
I would.
But just you wait,
If I leave it there,
You'll never feel
This far away.

One of my recent publications can be found in the poetry anthology "Life in me Like Grass on Fire: Love Poems." This is a publication of the Maryland Writers Association, 2011.

National Poetry Writing Month - Week Three

Tue Apr 16, 2013, 1:29 PM

"On A Quest" by Ehecod

Hello Artists!

This wonderful piece of art is now up on my blog in a post to celebrate the third week of NaPoWriMo - National Poetry Writing Month. Many thanks to the artist for permission to use the piece! The post is here [link] and contains a full weeks worth of prompts and exercises to keep your creative writing flowing through this third week. Week three is the toughest week of all, with half the work behind and still half to go. This post deals with the poetic journey of the month and how we can use time limits in our favor. Good luck with the poems!

Cheers,
Jennifer

I am a planetary scientist, educator, fiction writer, and poet who has always been a fan of speculative art, including science fiction, fantasy, horror and the just plain weird. Bryce Ellicott is my erstwhile pen name. My website, One Writer's Mind [link] is where I post about new projects, writing tips, art that catches my eye, and astronomy items of interest. My publications include a textbook about the inner planets, over two dozen poems, and a pile of scientific and educational papers and articles. I came to dA looking for great art to highlight my blog and inspire my writing, and I haven't been disappointed!
