Introducing bamaxena's new Mad Warrior Poet blog
Exploring the epic journey of XWP through the poetry of bamaxena. Welcome to the new blog, Mad Warrior Poet, where I'll be posting poetry related (mostly) to Xena: Warrior Princess, my all-time favorite TV show and my number one obsession for many years now. The first batch of poems are posted, and over the next few days, all the poems from the old Universal Studios NetForum (the ones I saved, anyway) will be posted here. I hope to write new ones soon. But you never know about such things, the Muse breathes inspiration wherever and whenever she will, to whomever she will. We'll see. It's only recently that the words have begun to flow again like wine, singing like fire in my veins. I only hope that I can stay out of the way this time and let them surge through me and out my quill! :)
As it is, I have quite a few poems who have been without a home for a long time. Most of these were written specifically for XWP episodes (there be spoilers on those pages, mateys) and provide a deeper glimpse into what Xena and Gabrielle might have been going through, a glimpse not afforded by the episodes themselves, what with the constraints of television production and time. Some of the poems are also lyrics to songs and some of those are posted at the main site. More on the way, I hear new music and songs in my head many times a week. Just takes time to get it all out of my head and onto audio tracks, donchaknow.
So pull up a comfy chair by the fire and warm your bones whilst I pour us up a couple of mugs of mulled cider and fill up a tray of snacks. It's a look at the epic journey from the quill of the mad warrior poet, bamaxena, Xena fans. I hope you'll enjoy your stay, that you'll come back often, and that the gods will smile on you every day of your own epic journey. Battle on, Xenites!
