Silly Poem from Pyromarne

A silly song from

Pyromarne

by Precarious Yates

I saw a goat float on a boat on the river one fine spring morn.

I gave a sigh and plied for why a goat should look so forlorn.

He said his date ate late: at eight, and he could not wait around;

He had to eat a treat of wheat he found on her family’s ground.

The sire grew dire, his eyes afire, his sweet wheat stolen, and how!

He chased the goat to the boat to float on the river and made him vow:

To address this mess with finesse, no less, and promise to bring some seed

To sow a row he’d never mow with teeth so given to greed.

This goat, smitten and so love bitten, did no less than what he was told,

And expressed remorse, or forced his course, by bringing his love marigold.

What Sparked This Story of The Captives?

There are many things that ignited me to write the story of The Captives, book 1 in The Heart of the Caveat Whale trilogy. What I haven’t told many people is that the stories from child soldiers in Africa was what I thought of when writing about the aquavians.

Aquavians are human-like creatures that swim the seas of Aiqua Marrin. Like children, the aquavians’ favorite things to do are to laugh and play. But then the MerKing captures and corrupts them. Mermen give them strange food that makes them violent, and then they thrust weapons into the aquavians’ hands.

Around the world, but particularly in Africa, this happens to children. Their villages or towns are raided, the adults are killed and the children are forced into the army, or other horrific forms of slavery. After enduring these atrocities, there’s no simple recovery for these children. They need many hours of loving counselling and years in a safe and prayerful environment before their hearts are healed.

Is your heart also gripped by this issue?

World Vision is an organization that helps in the process of restoring child soldiers, as well as working for prevention:

“When the caveat whale is gone, the time of the end has come, but the rise of Shunda will stem the tide.”

Three lives weave together inextricably. 

Qoshonni: the warrior.
Shunda: the orphan.
Mookori: the prince.

They fight against the MerKing and rescue the captives.

Can they trust themselves in their fight against this mutual enemy? Can they trust one another?
