Dear Readers,
The following poem was inspired by a game I once played as a child and still enjoy occasionally. I centered the poem as the gist of the novel I am writing presently. It (being the poem) was written on May 1, 2009 and many of the details it carries no longer are akin to that of my novel since the latter has undergone vast change over time, but I find the poem still has that delicious essence of mystery and adventure that I have always loved to read and write. And so I share it with you now to give a taste of what my slow-coming novel is going to become:
"A pattern made by magic has
been woven in the arch
The fiercest swamp-gnorc warriors
to dragon lands they march
No fear is in the little one
who guards friends in the grove
Who fights for dragon freedom and
is ever on the move
He always is protecting those
is his homeland and world
From the evil one who always lusts
for all power to hold
This honest legend will not rest
until his friends are safe,
And may not live to see that day
if takes he, the dead one's place
The mem'ry of the Elder blue
who heard the phroph'sy told
Lives to see the day when myth
from childhood's day unfolds
The white dragon returns to join
our legend in the war
To save the creatures of the land
Where good will surely score
It will not be easy to keep
the dragons from the grip
Of cruel one who see fortune by
killing with sword and whip
If rescue dragons our legends will
more courage it will take
For if they wish all to survive
their own lives are at stake
With thunderstorms and crows --- all bad
--- the Gnasty one will kill
By using potions and magic ways
he'll surely get his fill
The treasure yet unseen by any
living souls here known
Will be sought out by our legends
to avoid Gnasty's controll
While the white myth learns from fairies' Sage
the Gnorc will then prepare
His evil plans for dark revenge
and of loot get his share
Perhaps the one who came from earth
with come 'long just in time
To meet up with our Gnasty Gnorc
and fulfill history's rhyme"
God bless! ♥
