Excerpts from the Damask Songbook, Week 3

[Bellona Littlebrush]

Hah! I love it, Dammy, and Sonnet 130 is one of my favorites from Shakespeare. You're right that Dammy'd get smacked upside the head if he ever said that aloud. Poor birdy, but his description is quite accurate, however...hmm...not-quite-flattering. :)

[Damask the Minstrel]

And finally, this one isn't even in-character, but... well, I promised sonnets for all the ladies, so...

For the Spirit 'Og:

Oh tell me can you hear the sparrows twitter?
They tell me that they have a newfound friend.
They say, for them, there isn't a beast fitter
Who always has a shoulder she can lend.

Nobeast can match her boundless love for all
Compassion fpr those that do not deserve
A healer's heart. But forced was she to fall
To foulest villain that destroyed such love.

For that is why the sparrows tell her tale:
The meekest birds allow the dead to speak
And say their last. Before that darkest vale --
That endless black -- does make her spirit weak.

But soon your heralds stay their song for thee
Their silence finally shall set you free.

(Sorry again that it's not as good as Liza's. I actually wrote this on the bus. My MP3 died, so I needed a distraction. ^.^)

Awwww. Thank you, Dammy. It's beautiful!
