Notes About The Poem


 

The Fight for Freedom

I hold three magic rocks, in my hand
Rolling them over and over and over
Leaving this reality behind, far behind
Distracted, I am just a rover.

For I have wandered in a field of fog
I cannot see or feel or know
Where I am going until the air had cleared
And a vast land displayed a great chateau.

Large mushroom like trees grow here and there.
With palms swishing lightly in the lawn,
But in the middle elves stand on guard
A beautiful woman is tied to a pole like a pawn.

I roll the magic rocks and a nasty sound blared.
The elves disappear and I quickly untie the beauty.
We run out into the fog and find a rocky patch.
She is hungry. The rocks yield berries fruity.

Danger lurk above as an eagle soared
She magically got a bow and shot down the bird 
Others appear the fugitives must flee.  A unicorn appears.
They climb upon the magic horse and spurred.

Now I have only one magic rock: what to do?
I wish to be back in my home and in laughter
We arrive safe and sound. We will be married
And you know what: we live happily ever after.

Dear victor, you are such an amazing writer and one that rhymes so well too! I absolutely loved the flow and depth of what you’ve conveyed as well as the descriptive nature of your poem. I especially love the lines, “I wish to be back in my home and in laughter We arrive safe and sound. We will be married And you know what: we live happily ever after.” Love such endings, soul warming! Really! Pleasure reading your poem. Hope you are doing well. Best wishes also for the contest.

Your imagination is so vibrant that it takes us into magical lands. I cannot even think to see such sights even in my wildest dreams. Don't worry about your single magical rock. You have got the best boon. All the Best, dear Victor. I too have been quite busy, so don't regret about your late response.
