"Rhymer", a Chapbook Preview, loosely based on Thomas the Rhymer. 
The Tale of Thomas the Rhymer, or Thomas of Erceldoune, Thomas of Learmont or True Thomas (1220 - 1298) is a renowned tale of a 13th century Scottish Laird and reputed prophet from Earlston in the area of Scotland known as the Borders or Scottish Borders, a tract of land on the borders of Scotland and England.
He is reputed to have been carried off by the Queen of Elfland and returned with the gift of prophecy. The tale is repeated in various forms, ballad verse and prose since medieval times most famously in the Child Ballads in the 1700's.
The Tale has always fascinated me and I've chosen to write a verse interpretation including modern themes of magical realism, alienation, loss, love and hope.
The full volume will be released in Chapbook form.

Poems currently posted in the Series comprise: Sleep of the Faerie Queen, Magic, Moon, Rhymer and Hounds.

MELANCHOLY | Melancholy drips from my fingertips. SOON TO BE A PUBLISHED PAPERBACK. COMING 2025! This melancholy drips from my fingertips so slowly, you begin to forget I even exist. All of me, the hard parts of flesh you could never seem to love, drips down the drain. I am waiting for the day for your fingers to unscrew the pipes, dig through debris and mess, scrape your heart against the rust, just to find me, so we can go through it all over again. Here, in the pages I find myself, in the ink that writes against my flesh, I will whisper the sadness, the heartache, and the decaying for all of the unspoken. Perhaps under this layer of melancholy, the girl I once knew still exists.    First poetry collection in the series. Original poems based off real life experiences. #12 in poetry.
