his shattered weapons glittered/the star gazed down

Another Saturday night, another poetry weekend gone by. I spent most of eight hours today doodling foxfish and walrus eagles and gilled werethingies. Had I been in other company, I would have spent at least some of that time arguing that at least half the songs in Oliver! are about prostitution. (What? They totally are!)

But at least K and I improvised a Buffy A-Z poem on the way back from lunch. It had rhymes and everything!

Also, it is freezing. Whyyyyy. Here, have another seasonal-appropriate poem.

( He met the star his enemy. They fought the woods leafless )

If you have any favorite poems (eta: or songs!) about supernatural stuff, I’d love to know about them. Any language welcome! I’m looking at anything, from Eurydice and Orpheus (please tell me Ovid wrote about them! he must have!) to “Goblin Market” to the Lorelai to the YA vampire poetry anthology that doesn’t yet exist but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.
