Poem

It was a still quiet night ,children were a bed 
Lost in dreamland amid clouds and unicorns
The elders sat around the dying embers
Drinking and laughing about the days events.
They too were soon overtaken by sleep
Eyelids grew weary, soon snores were heard.
Stars looked down from a cloudless sky
And the moon glinted like a silver scythe.
Silence fell over the village time stood still
Cattle quietly chewed in the byre
A dog awoke and sniffed the air
Before yawning ,licking lips and going back to sleep
Shadows strangely and silently moved
Pouring like treacle over the village wall
From out of the darkness of the forest
Fiendish folk slithered in
With thought malicious and evil intent.

Within a heartbeat the village was taken
Elders groggily thrown in jail
Children screamed and dogs growled
Too late they were taken unawares.
The dark lord laughed to see 
His men take over this easily.
His control was total no resistance offered
So he thought ill marry the mayors daughter
She was dragged screaming to the meeting place
Which was also used for matrimonial joining
The friar was called and brought forth to preside
The fiendish lord now had his bride.
The people wept and moaned and groaned
Where is there a hero to deliver us?
Then a stranger appeared from whence he came
No one saw and no one really knows
With his bow and warriors bold
Fought with the fiendish one and won the day
The children cheered and threw rotten fruit
At the dark one as he was placed in stocks
He lost his leather boots and stood in his socks
His men they fled as the day was lost
Chased by the children into the wild 
Never to be seen in this strath again.
