The poem combines His connections of the weather, disability, justice, and rulership. Compared to Brighid\u2019s poem, writing it flowed somewhat smoother. I liken the writing process with Brighid to that of a smith at an anvil, while writing His chant was coursing through a river that has the occasional rock.<\/p><p>I listened to mist ambience while composing it, so I find that the procedure makes its own form of dual sensory input with hearing and touch.<\/p><p>I\u2019m becoming more comfortable with the poetic form, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s a breeze. I like the challenge of its shortness and the rhyming patterns, but I still plan to vary my monastic writing practice with free verse and structured poetry.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nodens<\/h3><p>Pure mist king<\/p><p>Ring true Your silver hand<\/p><p>Band of clouds cleansing so sure<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A continuation of working with Sulabaros Tritanuos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-137196385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.illuminatingspark.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137196385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.illuminatingspark.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.illuminatingspark.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.illuminatingspark.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.illuminatingspark.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=137196385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.illuminatingspark.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137196385\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.illuminatingspark.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=137196385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.illuminatingspark.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=137196385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.illuminatingspark.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=137196385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
