WinterdanceUnfamiliar terrain,  this winterdance of ours.   
You pushed me on the swing –  it creaked and wailed,  wolf-like –  and the sky looked so ominous  that you muttered,  ‘it’s as though we’re in  a book.’   
We followed the path  through the trees –  
it was eerie  with the wind  so banshee-like –  and turned whenever  we pleased.   
‘Higher!’ I cried,  as the birds flew  overhead.   
I thought that someone  followed us  as, with outstretched arms,  we flew.  For Winterdance

Midmorning MeetingFreckles?   
Yes, please, why not?  thinks Ellie.   
Then freckles you shall have.   
Ellie stops in her tracks when she sees her.   
She is curved over a book of military history, which she wouldn’t read if given the choice.  There’s a deliciously easy paperback fantasy in her book bag, nestled snugly between 96-page notebooks, which is begging to be read.  Yes, it really is begging to be read…  But she must exercise resolve.  Her eyes ache from Artabazus and Anchialus, Thymondas son of Mentor and Outis son of Nobody and her fingers twitc Midmorning Meeting

HeliocentrismI skitter,  you’ve scattered  my fruit-salad phrases  with Roman-old, sensitive  eyes   
I worry,  you’ve weasled  straight into my jewel-box  as swift as a war-gotten  prize   
I murmur,  you’ve marbled  my hidden heart-paper,  once dull, with the colour of  sky   
I falter,  you’ve forded  the fraying organza  as subtly as morning  July   
I marvel,  you’ve misted  the maple-cut borders,  moor-deep, in Byronic  disguise

...by the lovely :iconmorning-miracle:

I'm supposed to write 8 random things about myself... I've a feeling I did this once before but, meh, I'll do it again. XD

1. My favourite ice-cream flavour is Cookies 'n Cream from Cold Rock, with cookie dough and marshmallows mixed in.
2. My favourite poet is W.B. Yeats. :)
3. I've been learning Japanese since I was 13, but I'm nowhere near fluent and I get so frustrated with it all the time. -_-;
4. My new favourite drink is raspberry hot chocolate. The cafe at my uni makes the BEST ones I've ever tasted. :drool:
5. In the future, I would LOVE to study ancient history at Oxford or Cambridge. *dreams*
6. I love doing research for assignments, probably more than I enjoy actually writing them.
7. I've recently discovered that classical music is reeeeeally lovely, and quite perfect to listen to while studying. :D
8. To calm myself down if I'm stressed, I lie on my bed and listen to Belle and Sebastian.

I am sooooooo uninteresting. XD

Thank you to :iconbluebroham: for pointing out that I'm actually supposed to tag people. =P

I therefore tag...
:iconmarine-ala: :iconphalene: :iconkidgeonpat: :iconaristotle323: :iconstormring: :iconsparkehrocks: :iconcausticardor: :iconbluebroham:
(but you don't have to do it if you don't want to!)

Oh! After much consideration, I've decided to submit the following poems to the competition...
Dictionary Poem
Heliocentrism
A Mistresspiece
To a Friend

I personally feel that they're some of my better poems. I was very happy with 'Admiring the Classicist' but it's too personal to submit to a competition. I'd die if it actually won anything. ^^;

In other news, I intend to go to my uni's Ancient History day on Saturday. It should be pretty awesome, since the theme is 'The Many Faces of Egypt'. :D

Has it always been bluebroham etc?

Do you go by any other names? I can't believe I'd just forget you. O_o

Heh, thanks for the reassurance. I suspect I am indeed a spaz. :D Although I don't know many complete spazzes who would attempt to read ancient Greek...

Now, you say that you'd love to talk to people on MSN, but I believe we used to talk, we forgot who eachother were after almost 3 years, you said "Don't waste my time" and probably blocked me. Sound about right? :lick: Just dropping by. Keep up the great work!

You're very welcome. I ought to thank you for the watch and the lovely comments. :)

I only know ancient authors in translation too... But I've been learning ancient Greek since last year in the hope that one day I'll be able to read ancient authors in their original language. ^_^

Ahh, I really don't know Catullus at all... So you're giving me reading too! Sappho unfortunately only survives through a few fragments and, if I remember correctly, one complete poem, a 'Hymn to Aphrodite'.

[link]

This is the best site for Sappho's poems that I've found so far. :)

Thank you for the :+devwatch: and for the shower of :+fav:

I'd like to watch you.

I only know ancient authors in English translation, which probably means I don't know them at all.

I'm more familiar with Catullus than with Sappho (more reading to do)

They say "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." Well I think the guns help. If you stood
there and yelled BANG, I don't think you'd kill too many people.
