    I’m honestly not sure if this is historical enough to be allowed here—it’s just a bit of shakespearean fan-fiction, really. I merely love to experiment in different mediums in literature, and this is one I may be returning to more often. Let me know your thoughts.

    by Marlo11

    The sleeping bear awakens. . . / The batte draws thus near.

    I am really enjoying writing with sound as a medium for providing depth and connecting with more of the senses of the audience. I hope you could ‘hear’ the war cry at the poems end. Some friends of mine are really into the medieval scene and inspired this poem also. There are of course, as always, other less obvious messages in this poem which I hope you may find and relate to.
