Born Poets is a poetry forum with emphasis on respectful but thorough critique. Until now, we were limited to the written word but it was decided that it would be both helpful and entertaining if we could also hear each other's poems as well as reading them, so we have set up this page for our members who wish to have their poems heard as well as read. It's not impossible that some of the poems will be accompanied by music too, as many of aour mmembers are also musicians. If you like what you hear on this site and want to find out more, please feel free to visit our forum at http://bornpoets.proboards23.com/ If you're a poet yourself and would like to share your works with us and maybe have your poem featured on this page, please feel free to joins us, we always welcome new members. But please bear in mind, this is a critique based forum and whilst our critiques are always friendly, respectful and thoughtful, it's not the place for you if you don't want critique on your poems. But we're a friendly, if slightly mad, bunch and there's always room for one more!

Story behind the song
This Series was begun by two of the poets from Born Poets...Dawn (Rainbow Threads) and Jim (Bombadil) and to date no one else has joined in but we hope they will eventually....it concerns the confrontations of Mortal and Immortal beings. This, the first poem in the series, is the voice of the Mountain, Arcanis, who guards the treasure of his immortal masters.
Lyrics
Mount Arcanis Speaks by Dawn Sinclair Never man ascend my slopes nor eyes set on my peak Never human feet destroy the realm of which gods speak And never shall a human know of secrets hidden deep Along the paths immortals tread when mortals care to sleep Fear not Valrou’hain, trust my guards to shield this godly treasure And keeps the vows Arcanis made from risk of your displeasure O Mighty gods watch over one who stands against the blight Who guides his servants by command and severs wrong from right Come winds, blow hard and scour each scarp, leave no sharp crag to hold Come snow with hail, defend me now, from mortal footstep bold This mount has stood untrod by man for centuries’ elation And this intruder shall not come to mar its reputation Be still now, here comes mortal man, deception in his breast Behind his mask of noble deed, a vile and thieving quest He’s doubtless heard a whispered tale of lustrous treasure hidden No warning shall Arcanis give - intrusion is forbidden And man must learn that he is small, a minute grain of sand He’s taking on the gods when he does battle for this land

I have no idea how I came to copyright this with Glenn's name instead of my own...but Glenn would never dispute my true ownership of it as he is a dear dear friend of mine and has been for many years.
