MythAtlas
A Plagiaristic Villanelle Of Lost And Mythical Places
Introduction
I thought I would write a villanelle based on thoughts about mythical and lost lands and places. There are so many, so these are just a few, and obviously the villanelle form will repeat lines but I want it to feel like an adventure in words.
The music is "Naturesway (Earthwatching)" by Thousand Yard Stare from their album "Mappamundi"

A Menagerie Of Myth
Introduction I haven't written any plagiaristic poetry for a while and I think we all have favourite mythical creatures because of stories that we have read, legends we are told, and pictures and statues that we see in churches and castles. Let me know your favourite.
