“Peril and the Maiden”
A poem by Alice B. Clagett

Awareness the land of the just.

THOUGHTS ON THE POEM

There is a gentleman that overhears me on the psychic plane and always tries to make as if my poems and songs are his own.  I would like you to know that this is my own original poem and not his.

Also, that was my own favorite and only guitar that he made off with … the guitar that a notable musician, now passed on … God rest his Soul … helped me to pick out. How much did you get for that at a pawn shop? Likely pennies on the dollar.

I cannot believe that, when I was but a young child, I had a crush on that guy who since stole my songs and the twinkle in my eye. (Good grief, no, Mister. I did not mean to say ‘song and dance’!)

There is just no accounting for how things work out.

In love, light and joy,
Alice B. Clagett
I Am of the Stars
