The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


A frosty forest, tells the tale
Of a knight, a man so brave
Thought he slayed the dragon
And left him in his cave

But little did he know
A dragon never rests
He waits for his revenge
Never settles second best

Mighty steed, across the bridge
They trod, through the snow
A banner, waving victory
While beast is down below

Good thing for the knight
The bridge was rather steep
He made it past the creature
Who was laying, fast asleep

This isn’t where the story ends
Perhaps, another tale, my friends

Fly from me, sweet dragon, seek

Heed the words, I now, must speak

Find the kingdom, cross the land

Bring to me, the guarded strand

Kept close to she, the princess fair

You must catch her, unaware

Cast this spell, of sleep, upon her

O’er the knights, in forest yonder

Who think I am an ignorant fool

But I shall have their precious jewel

Complete this task, I set to thee

Bring back that which belongs to me

The piece that causes much vexation

For I never utter fruitless incantations

In my hands I hold the key, a golden wand to set me free

Swirl, the winds about me, fly, watch as magic awakens, by

Sounds from my voice, subdued, I must set the perfect mood

Allow the spirits to commune, I can feel them, coming soon

I cannot rush this, I must wait, else, this magic seals my fate

Swirl, the winds about me, fly, watch as magic awakens, nigh

No longer in my hands, the key, my spirit flies, at last, I’m free

I have traveled far
Ice beneath my feet
The full moon
My guiding star
Shining ever sweet
My staff aglow
As I step closer
To this place
Where
Inside my heart
I hold an empty space
The castle lights are bright
Each a single flame
Perhaps, lit
For my approach
From whence I came
I’ve still, a father path
To follow, to the door
Where I can embrace
My loved one
Forevermore
The snowy plains
And mounts
Have been good to me
Allowing this
Half-hearted body
To take me, safely
One final length
To my journey
Soon I will be there
To seal the hole
Long ago left
By my departed lady fair
