Magic Street has a character able to spurt poetry from his mind on a whim. Here's one I love:
Into my chariot, whispered the sun god.
Here beside me, Love, crossing the sky.
Leave the dusty road on which you plod:
Behind these fiery horses come and fly.
No matter how fast we go, how far, how high,
I'll never let you fall.
All your life
On earth you've crept and climbed and clawed--
Now, Mortal Beauty, be my wife,
And of your dreams of light, I'll grant you all.
I was wondering if anyone knew of other Orson Scott Card poetry.
