Hi Davie and welcome to pnq.....I have to say that's some piece to open with too, I think you're gonna fit in just fine!

I love the feel of your poem, really nice format and word usage and I like the voice within it, really nice to see some olde worlde language there are a few of us that dabble from time to time.

5/5 great job.

Welcome to P&Q and what a fantastic opening piece. So much imagery within it and will receive my nomination as soon as I can.
Well done, Em

Davie, they are right, you know. Your little gem here is formatted well and makes the reader think.

I'm looking forward to reading more of your work.

Welcome to our humble home. :)

Welcome to Poems and Quotes

what an interesting write. Specially the last two sentences:

Your silence speaks not for your heart
But your heart speaks your mind
