Riding My Unicorn

I ride my unicorn along a rocky shore As the full moon glistens on the waves A beauty in the distance catches my eye She is basking in the moons reflective glow As the full moon glistens on the waves I am completely mesmorized She is basking in the moons reflective glow I am drawn to be so much nearer to her I am completely mesmorized Her there naked laying on that rock I am drawn to be so much nearer to her As I look I notice her tail Her there naked laying on that rock A temptation I can hardly resist As I look I notice her tail She beckons me to give her a kiss A temptation I can hardly resist I see the moonlight in her eyes She beckons me to give her a kiss I leap from the unicorn to be in her arms I see the moonlight in her eyes Sometimes beauty isn't what it seems I leap from my unicorn to be in her arms Then I watch as she is stabbed through the heart Sometimes beauty isn't what it seems I am enchanted by her siren call Then I watch as she is stabbed through the heart The unicorn's horn hits it's mark I was enchanted by her siren call Now I'm appalled by what I see The unicorn's horn hit it's mark A scaled monster lays dead on a rock Now I'm appalled by what I see How could I ever have been so blind A scaled monster lays dead on a rock Blood trickles from the unicorn's horn How could I ever have been so blind A beauty in the distance caught my eye Blood trickles from the unicorn's horn I ride my unicorn along a rocky shore Mythological Animals or bird contest.

Stunning lines. I've met some friends of old where the circumstances were very similar. Sad. This was wonderfully written!

You never know a person's true colors. Not everything we see is maybe as beautiful as we think! I enjoyed this one! Wish you the best in the contest! :)

Very interesting, Rick. Unicorns and mermaids are often though of very serene and majestic creatures... but in this I see the darker side of them. Temptation can be a "killer" it seems...

I oft' wonder about the stuff of mythology and living here in Cyprus there is a lot of it about. Your tale of Unicorns & Sirens is great stuff. I shall have to look into trying a pantoum at some date. I have noted it on my to-do list. Great stuff Richard Thank you for sharing. God Bless. Dave.

Very nice, Richard! Pantoums are rather complicated to create, but you suceeded flawlessly! Good luck in the contest... Terry (PS thank you for all your kind comments... much appreciated... by the way, though not a mailman, I am a male man...)
