Steel and Spell


by Jeff Geiger


Village

people walk inside

darkness, save for a suited man

with glowing cigar


Mirror Mirror

Pen or sword? Pick one

choose your battles carefully

for the paths oppose


Pillars

black lakeside tower

emitting glorious sound

attracting creatures


Yuletide

smooth and still glass lake

reflects forest animals

seeing their true form


Touch

lone quester feels the

mossy, chilling, stone dais

hoping for kingdoms


Trials

three snow wolves circle

the innocent babe while the

antlered king watched


Hunter's Hallow

thatched lodge welcoming

with mead, music, and brethren

nestled in nowhere


Victory

raising his arm high

sword gleams in pale moonlight

peace returns at last
