Fantasy Poem "Doddering Mage"


Fantasy poem "Doddering Mage" did not previously appear in a small-press zine or anthology but did appear in my not out-of-print poetry collection Cosmic Journeys and Gothic Visions.

Quivering lips

Ignite flowing robes.
Blazing flames
Engulf feeble form.
Swirling draught
Blows drifting ash.
