The wand in the hand is placed in the middle of the tripod's legs.With water he sprinkles both the hem of his garment and his foot.
A voice, fear: he trembles in his robes.
Divine splendour; the god sits nearby.

An author writesToday another attempt
At producing proper prose.
I grapple with the grammar,
And struggle
With the slippery semantics.
All the while
Trying to control
The unruly characters
And adhering to the plot.
Will this incident
Advance the story?
Or will it confuse the reader?
Is this character believable?
Or is he just over the top?
I wrestle all night
With questions like these.
So dear reader
As you pore over
One of my humble works.
Please spare a thought
For the author.
He often is beset
By frustration and despair.
Pouring curses
Into the smoke filled air
Weakly succumbing
To the lure of addictive substances
As he seeks to provide you
With a web of words.

The poem is supposed to be one by Spike, based on Sea Fever by John Masefield. I apologised to Spike in case I misquoted it.
