Herne's Oak

By Songster

02 April 2005

Shakespeare and Tolkein thought Herne worth a mention, who am I to disagree?

Herne's Oak

In white, wet mist
the hanging tree.
A green branch strains -
The still form turns.
The white doe starts.
A horn blasts through
the folds of fog.
The antlered man;
the frothing horse.
Gripped in dread thrall
the hunters ride.
Forked lighting splits
the spectral tree.
The wild hunt rides
in search of souls.

Songster.

Evocotive,,makes me think of the old Robin of Sherwood series with Micael Praed. Lots of misty shots in the woods.

I though the use of a lot of short lines fought against the imagery though. Could have melded the lines a bit with less punctuation for a more floaty, mystical feel.

Good subject though .

Thanks spidey. I like punctuation but I do usually write with much longer lines. I did not really want it to be floaty but mystical - yes. Your comments are appreciated.
