A brief look at my favorite ancient Irish poem
What a fine entry for National Poetry month! I particularly enjoy this stanza:
Invoke, O people of the waves, invoke the satirist, that he may make an incantation for thee!
I, the druid, who set out letters in Ogham;
I, who part combatants;
I, who approach the fairy-mounds to seek a cunning satirist, that he may compose chants with me.
I am the wind on the sea.1
It kind of shows the more mystic side of ancient poets, it's a very good choice to focus on!
I didn't know it was national poetry month, that has me thinking about a poem draft I've let lie for a while now. Enjoyed reading the poem.
Perfect time to try at it again and share it!
