Capricornus

~ JezzieG
A Garret Poet

Capricornus
Form: Canadian Sonnet

At Winter solstice the stars define
Amalthea as she nurtured a god
and crystals glimmer where the frost has trod
while the Sun god rests as the stars align.
A cornucopia, His festive feast
in readiness for His northerly climb
while the Muses of Zeus conjure a rhyme
for the Moon as she rises in the east.
The Pagans dance in the ritual ring
when ancient rites are called for here and now
the sacred blessings drawn with Baldr’s Bough
amid the chants wassailing voices sing.
In ways of old we cast the Yuletide mote
as Capricornus brings the hornéd goat

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
