Poetry

[Bannor]

I wrote a poem (an acrostic) that I sent to Stephen Donaldson after he graciously sent me some autographed stickers. I was hoping that he might use it in his 3rd Chronicles. Thought you might be interested in reading it. (Written and sent in 1984)

TO THE NEXT SEQUEL

The Unbeliever
Has gone
On.
May Linden
Avery
Succeed.

Caer-Caveral
Of Andelain is no more.
Vain and the
Elohim's Findail are
Now the Staff of Law.
All is
Now set for
The Healing.

(For those of you unfamiliar with acrostics, there are words spelled out by going down the first letter of each line.)

Very Nice!! You should consider posting it on the fan fiction link off of Kevin Watch main page.

BTW did SRD respond when you sent it to him?

Nicely done, Bannor, nicely done!

[Bannor]

No, SRD didn't respond to the poem. I figured that he'd rather do his own and not bother with someone else's work (legal entanglements and all--although I did tell him that if he liked it, he could use it free of any charge). Thanks for the compliments. I always kinda liked it but didn't know if it was worth showing anyone.

True, I agree with Coerci, nicely done! I think that SRD should accept yor poem no matter what entanglements there are. Although he might not use it because there might not be a 3rd Chronicle who knows? Anyway, it's time for me to go to school

Thanks, xp_spec. I appreciate the compliment and thought. I don't do a lot of poetry much anymore (though I have some haiku on seals, whales, other animals of nature).
