International Poetry Month: "Perils of the Scribe"

I wrote this poem for a baronial poetry challenge in the SCA. The challenge was to write a poem about your chosen art and include as many terms about that art as possible. Each term counted for a point. My poem won only because I am long-winded and so squashed in lots. It's not in any recognizable form, but I have a soft spot for it, despite its dorkiness, and it really was fun to write.

Normally, I lock down my original poetry, but because this one was written for the SCA and won't be published outside of the baronial newsletter (if there), then do feel free to share it elsewhere, if you like it; just give credit to "Dawn Felagund" with the web url http://www.themidhavens.net. :)

One Word

I got this m-word-thing in an email from Tristan and, rather than respond to it in email, am going to do it here. Feel free to steal it and play along, if you'd like. The idea is to answer the questions in just one word. It's harder than you'd think!
