The Polifonix Poems and Other Verses

The Polifonix Poems and Other Verses

By Phyllis Ann Karr Poetry 03/03/2022

The leading poems were written during my years as "Polifonix of Armorica" in the Society for Creative Anachronism, Barony of the Flame. There follow a number of occasional poems, most of them in traditional rhyme and rhythm patterns, on assorted subjects whimsical or melancholy. The volume ends with four narratives in verse, one in Tennysonian style associating Guenevere, retired to a convent, experiencing a vision of the Holy Grail, one recounting Etruscan legend as a young Lord Byron might have told it, one describing a mermaid's vengeance for a wrong done to her foster-child, and the last revisiting the fall of the Round Table as MAD Magazine might have seen it.
