Ghazalville Poem

Farsighted

Great Salamanders dance
Across floors of Marble and Chrome

Sitting, stuck in Caves
Scores of Gnomes let their minds Roam

Undines sit and sigh
Favor love, Neglect chores on Sea Foam

Sylphs never try to preside
Past the Doors of their Heavenly Dome

Can no one else see them?
Phantoms, not more than myths in Dusty Old Tomes?

Centuries pass... these Elementals
Begin to Abhor every human they call Home

From the overly silent spectator's corner-- I must say it was much more powerful when read (but what isn't?)

I dig it.

Very, very true. It seems I always write these things like songs, I guess that's it ;)
