List of Unsold Poems from April 6, 2010 Poetry Fishbowl
The following poems from the April 6, 2010 Poetry fishbowl are currently available:
"The Forest of Infinity" -- 25 lines, $10 SOLD to Star*Line
From "sentient trees" I got the free-verse poem "The Forest of Infinity," in which all of the World Trees grow.
"Horehound and Honey" -- 37 lines, $15
I'm working with a cold, myself, so this idea definitely grabbed me. Meet Tregarth the Herbalist, not your ordinary hero. "Horehound and Honey" is a free-verse poem about Tregarth's service to dragonkind and humankind alike.
"Misapprehensions of History" -- 20 lines, $10
From "misunderstood dragons" I got the haunting free-verse poem "Misapprehensions of History." Humans aren't always the good guys ... and the world doesn't always get saved.
" The Plowshare Sword" -- 32 lines, $15 SOLD
From your last line, I got a hauntingly beautiful poem about an unusual veteran who has a different take on saving the world. "The Plowshare Sword" is a double-ballad.
" The Reluctant Villain" -- 134 lines, $67 SOLD
I combined the villain with siege's temple. The result is "The Reluctant Villain," a free-verse poem about Zenobia Ravenne and her complete inability to carry out an Evil Plan. But there's another wicked family, the Thornsteles, and that's where things get really interesting...
" Someday Saviors" -- 20 lines, $10 SOLD
I got a note from zianuray posing several fascinating questions. So I put them all together ... asked by baby mages. "Someday Saviors" is written in unrhymed quatrains.
"The Treeslayers" -- 84 lines, $42
From your last prompt, I got "The Treeslayers," a double-ballad. Since the elves were wickedly killing nature, I decided to make trolls the good guys, humans and dwarves the moronic bystanders.
"The Women of Hildegaard" -- 44 lines, $20
This naturally invites the question: "Under what circumstances would being a warrior mom convey a martial advantage?" Well, dragons prefer virgins, and adding a little magic to some classic motherly idioms can pack quite a punch! The result is "The Women of Hildegaard," written in couplets. Huzzah for mommy power! They kick dragon bootie.
