This is posted in 3 parts because it was too long to be posted as one. My name is Kayla Thomas and this poem is for the contest Three Gems, in the contest section. This was written on 7/29/11. I glance back at the castle being set ablaze by dragons I see villagers up ahead, they are all fleeing on wagons What once was a world I could control, has suddenly gone bad Seeing all this gloom and destruction to my nation makes me sad I hear the cry of dragon’s and watch them overhead as they fly I know that I can’t stay in this desolate land, if I do I will surely die I say goodbye to my prince as a tear slips down my cheek I prepare to leave the land that was once filled with beauty, but is now bleak The people look at me like I’m their savior, like I’m some sort of knight So before I leave I promise to return soon and set everything right But I’m no warrior, no soldier, no master on the strategies of war ‘How am I to save these people?’ I ponder as I stride through the door I know I must go back and save these people that I’ve created But that also means I will have to face all the monsters I created I take some time to plan an attack and gather up my courage Then I prepare to return to the land that I had once deserted
