So, sure, I have a background in art. I get it, and it was only natural that eventually I would feel the call to contribute artistically. I have done some songs, which have been fun, but my first artistic love has always been poetry. So I thought maybe I could contribute to scroll work. I mean maybe there is some call for wordsmiths? It turns out there is A LOT because scribes and illuminators don’t always like coming up with the words, too. I guess just like how I don’t want to MAKE the scrolls, eh?
With that thought in my head, I reach out to my dear friend Christiana (who might be a long lost twin, the jury is still out). Her immediate response is to put me in touch with Mistress Camille, who thankfully recognized that while doing the super fancy Laurel Scroll that Christiana thought would be JUST AWESOME, maybe giving the newbie wordsmith something smaller would be more appropriate and not cause him to freeze.
Assignment #1:
So pick Ye Sage ye herbs ye thyme
But watch ye out for the sting of rose
For you pluck once but she stabs nine
The bloom outshines the bitter thorn
Come ye with cloth to mend or sew
And watch the brilliant Garment born
Kneal ye now for king and queen
For words of you reach those who know
That service keeps alive the dream
And Rise as Lady Saige O’Rose
Given this day, blah blah blah. November 29th is the feast day of the Irish Saint Brendan of Birr, so that’s a a thing
