Poem -
A Stealthy Soothsayer
Arisen, through black purgatorial prayers
Arisen from his knees
By slow degrees
Came, a stealthy soothsayer
And swell,
Did his notes of praise
Through darkest forecast,
Or like Leviticus
"Do not turn to necromancers..."
And yet,
Came A Stealthy Soothsayer
The moping owl
That did taint a soul,
Make it cry and pay
The Devil's toll,
Where through the long drawn
Curfews, and points
Of light
His forecasts did come true,
Taking those
Whose narrow view
Forever paved the way
For doubt,
And temptations aftermath
From the garden
Where Adam,
Did encounter,
Such a Stealthy,
Soothsayer.....

Hi Tony I cant quite get to the bottom of this one
I have read it a few times, the possible interpretation I came up
with is with the temptation of Adam and Eve were they tempted by the devil?
being not wise in their choices,not listening to the word of God?
Dicing with the devil is never a good choice especially when being advised not to
A thought provoking write for me from the superb imagery you created
Great write love n hugs Debs xo
Dear DEBS!!.... yes!!.... as usual you are upon it..... it is the tale from the Bible where Eve was tempted by the Devil ~in the form of a snake...... to eat of the apple.....OR....the "ORIGINAL SIN"...... which doomed us all to this reality we now know ........but in my own creative delivery of course.....a tale which has been told hundreds of ways...... but it is THE BIBLE'S ..."ORIGINAL SIN" which makes the most sense...... at least to those who believe in GOD!!....... as usual, I am more than grateful you took time my friend....... talk soon..... your friend and admirer ........T xo. ?✳✴☀
My Dear Brother Poet Tony,
Was this "Stealthy Soothsayer" from Heaven or Hell? What spirits did he evoke for necromancing, for his predictions became history? Now, throughout it, mankind has suffered its' slings and arrows. Oh, dear Adam, pray do tell, was this soothsayer one of Gods' Angels or an agent sent from Hell?
Peace, Love and Rockets,

My Dear Brother Poet LARRY,
Indeed my friend, an agent of the devil, as in the picture...... a snake whose presence within "the garden of Eden" did help EVE to taste the forbidden fruit ......leaving us All to deal with this reality we are now experiencing..... that is.... of course.... if you believe in "The Bible"......a story told in so many ways...... so many times......I just put my own twist upon it my brother....... how I dō so enjoy our verbal partnership and effective learning from one another!!...... be well........LOVE and ROCKETS!!.......T xo. ?✳✴☀
You deserve all the plaudits Tony......A Special write !
Regards Mick.
