Colyne's Poetry: Napping War Point
http://sca-poetry.todd-fischer.com/2015/07/napping-war-point.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. By THLaird Colyne Stewart, July AS 50 (2015). Oh for my Queen I lay my head. Upon a pillow in my bed. As though this year I am not there. At Pennsic in the summer air. At Queen’s command I doze and nap. With sleeping dog’s head in my lap. Across the land we slumber all. For to our Queen we are in thrall. At royal word we go to sleep. Swift into dreams so strange and deep. I do my part for kingdom fair. All while I clutch my Septy bear. Posted by Todd H. C. Fischer.

Colyne's Poetry: April 2014
http://sca-poetry.todd-fischer.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 17, 2014. For Eleanor, from Menken. To his Freya went a humble knight,. Wounded sore from honour’ble fight,. In his hand her favour fierce he clasped. Eleanor, my wife, my bride, my life, I am here;. Naught can keep me from you! Her face agleam with boreal light,. Her fingers, long, held his face tight,. Her husband smiled as he rasped. Eleanor, my wife, my bride, my life, I am here;. Naught can keep me from you! She guides him home, her blue eyes bright,. Naught can keep me from you!

Colyne's Poetry: Guarding the Hearth
http://sca-poetry.todd-fischer.com/2015/07/guarding-hearth.html
Thursday, July 30, 2015. By THLaird Colyne Stewart, July AS 50 (2015. I cannot hear the sounds of drums. That drive my kin down south. I do not see the pennants fly. On wind of dragon’s mouth. I do not feel the heady thrums. Of nerves in battle’s thrall. I do not taste the dusty sky. That blows throughout it all. I do not smell exotic scents. Or smoke of open fires. I do not, for I have not gone. Down with my fellow squires. And yet I do, I feel, I sense,. I dance the Pennsic score. My spirit is at War.

Monday, May 25, 2015. For Quilliam III and Domhnail II. Upon his victory at Crown Tournament. By THLaird Colyne Stewart, May AS 50 (2015). A wolfen duke he was, a countess bold was she,. Down Rising Waters way, they went with sword and shield,. Her favour bore he well upon contested field,. His arm was strong and true, the foe-blood flowed so free,. All who came before him, were forced to take a knee,. Tormot for raven won the northlands golden crown,. Put it where she glad sat, well clad in silken gown,.

Friday, March 20, 2015. Dedicated to Gilchrist, Ilsa, Boaz, Ozymandius, O’ber and Fengil. By THLaird Colyne Stewart, March AS 49 (2015). In northern hall the hounds all sit,. Sleek bodies fit for dogs who hunt,. When with a grunt released they fly,. Give voice to cry as swift they go,. The whippets flow through bright green grass,. While greyhounds pass and kennets bay,. Lymers find the prey, elusive,. And then, conclusive, end the game;. So heed their lord and dame, head home,. Who, come the fall. Which...

Sunday, November 30, 2014. For Eirik Andersen upon being elevated to the Order of the Pelican. November 2014 (AS 49). By THLaird Colyne Stewart. For Ealdormere Andersen tended. And built and laboured and mended. From city to town he has flown. And under him all this has grown. Like the Pantheon defended. Through trials and hardship he wended,. Any he met were well friended. And all of his works were well sown. Now his knee will be bended. With honour to his name lended;. As he stands before lupine throne.

Athenaeum Hectoris: In-Persona Storytelling
http://athenaeumhectoris.blogspot.com/2015/03/in-persona-storytelling.html
Tuesday, 3 March 2015. By Duke Cariadoc of the Bow. By “in-persona storytelling” I do not mean telling stories about your persona, an activity I regard with considerable misgiving. I mean telling stories as your persona–from his point of view, not yours. This article is about how to do so. Consider a simple example–a short period anecdote about the bird that is the world:. The Commander of the Faithful was sitting with his nadim, his cup companions. One of them said,. Is its body;. That is its tail.".

Athenaeum Hectoris: Writing a Leich
http://athenaeumhectoris.blogspot.com/2015/03/writing-leich.html
Thursday, 19 March 2015. By THLaird Colyne Stewart, March AS 49 (2015). Wanting to write a poem about my squire-brother, HE Berend van der Eych, I first wanted to choose a proper genre. Berend, having a Dutch persona, would have grown up hearing the work of the minnesingers. I therefore chose to go with German poetics and settled on the priamel. As my genre. Priamel. Throw out a lot of details about different stuff, but in the end we learn that it is all stuff that Berend has done. Acorns grow in a field,.
