The golden aes sidhe
Once gods, the children of Danu
Are naught but memory even without knowledge, i got the gist
The Dagda, father of them all
On Uaithne gently plays
Once seasons turned to its fair song
But not a tree now sways just in the 1st 2 stanza a feeling of past and loss is growing
The druids once told tales in awe
Of Ogma eloquent i'm caught here as to whether ogma was eloquent or the tales.
Ears captive to his magic tongue and then i'm not caught any more
Yet now his voice is spent
Bodb Derg the many-ruling king
A poet brave and wise
The silver sandals on his feet
Now dazzle blinded eyes i know what it means but it makes do a double take
Proud Brigit, smith and healer queen
Once poetess of fire
Was tamed into a quiet saint
To silently expire love this verse
In Tir na n-Og the poets dwell
Their words lost to the years
Forgot by unheroic cross
And drowned in Erin’s tears a great ending.
the flow of it is bloody good. the rhymes are unobtrusive and spot on. the content has a warmth to it as though the reader knows the characters being spoke of, and a sadness all the more so for the same reason. most of what i mentioned are really just nits though i did stumble a little at dazzle blinded. a good publishable piece. thanks for the read.
