555 Days... The Continuation

Welcome to 555 Days as a Poet by The Crafty Scribe

Back in 2010, I challenged myself to write a poem or a short verse a day, and post it to a blog. 555 Days as a Poet by The Crafty Scribe is the continuation of the experiment.

I gave myself 18 months to recover from the original daily blog postings, and now, I am ready to start it all over again. Although as I was beginning in the middle of the year, I thought 6 months was too short a time after my last experience.

"If I could complete a year of poems, how about 18 months?" I thought. I worked out that would be 549 days. I could have rounded it up to 550 to included New Years Day 2014, but then I thought I'd go 5 better... to 555 days.

Why 555? According to many spiritual teachers, the number 555 is a sign of change and the flow of energy. I thought it related to the blog. I spent a year writing a poem every day, then rested for 18 months. Now the tide has turned. It's time to begin the flow of words in my life again.

I'm not a trained poet, just an enthusiastic scribe wanting to create something new each day. I don't truly know my stanza from my meter, but I hope to improve and get my poetic license someday! Expect the weird, the strange and the inner workings of the Crafty Scribe's mind. Let's ride the waves once more.

Please pass on the blog address to all your verse and lyrical loving friends. I hope you will join me, and read my daily scribbling.

"In Glade's Embrace" (Entry 539)

The bats continue their symphony.
Leading and guiding the way.
Follow the path unseen.
Travel where only the blessed have tread.
Relief as companions appear
from the shadowed embrace of oaks.
Carry holly and the mistletoe.
Enter the glade together.
Ceremony.
Sacred space.
Home.

*************

Happy Yule to all of you celebrating today. Blessed Be!


"Winds Turn" (Entry 538)

North winds turn to bound and ground.
East winds turn to whip air and rip.
South winds turn to light up the night.
West winds turn to moon’s tidal ride.

*********

Thinking of everyone in the UK suffering through these gale force winds. Stay safe and warm.

"Not This Little Girl!" (Entry 483)

Vampires and Demons, Their Hunters and Ghosts. 
Gods and Fairies and Star Trek Outposts. 
Sci-fi and Fantasy and All Types of History. 
Comedy and Drama and Geek Tech and Mystery.

Any of this, and I'm in my glory. 
TARDIS, the Doctor, Strictly Saturday and laughter. 
Friends and Kitties, Steampunk and Delving the Hereafter. 
Eclectic in rhythm with a rock gothy twist. 
Magical thinking, all Supernatural, is right on my list. 
So sugar 'n' spice, gets some girlies glowing. 
This what makes me me and gets this one going!

"A Shift in the Universe" (Entry 395)

Shifting sight of new delight. 
Conscious state delve deep this night. 
Complex visions, from places, where?
Transport! Create! Images rare.
Senses pleasure. Freedom found. 
I learn your ways, Universe unbound.

"Momentous Moment of Mystical Bliss" (Entry 195)

She reached the ocean's edge.
The candles held by her companions
reflected on calm silken surface,
joining with those lights of the stars,
who had come out to watch
this momentous single moment of mystical bliss.
She accepted the words of blessings
and, with freewill,
stepped into the water.
She became their sister,
one of the star children.
She was cleansed and energised.

"Inside The Circle" (Entry 120)

Inside the circle... MagicK happens.
Inside the circle... YOU are between worlds.
Not heavens or Earths
But a place of your OWN making.
Here be Dragons,
The compass takes form of Angels or Spirits.
Inside the circle... YOU are part of the orb.
Inside the circle... ENERGY twirls.
