Poem
Magic really does exist! Who could ever doubt its power after reading the tale of Merlin, locked in the castle tower? As a smoky colored feline that the cruel king didn't like, he was chased by the Royal wolfhound, the evil Spike! Merlin meowed repeatedly, but no one had ever heard until the night he was visited by a friendly little bluebird. After fluttering tiny wings, she turned into a wee faerie who smiled and introduced herself as Princess Kerrie. She told Merlin she'd heard his sorrowful wailing cry as she was flying in the forest, and was wondering why he'd been locked inside the castle's isolated tower room, so dark and dank, and what was it that caused his gloom. Merlin was in awe of her and quite happy she'd appeared, so, he told her of his dilemma and what it was he feared. Kerrie pulled out a sparkling wand from behind her back. "I'll give you magic powers," and she gave the wand a whack. The tower door flew open, and Merlin began to yell, thanking Princess Kerrie for casting her magical spell. Just then Spike began to bark from the stairs far below but Merlin felt no fear, and his eyes started to glow. "He won't chase me anymore." said Merlin to the faerie. "Now that I'm a magic cat, Spike doesn't seem so scary." Kerrie replied, "Go get him. That's enough idle chitchat. Be courageous, Merlin. Now you're ready for combat!" All he had to remember to do was meow and loudly screech and when Spike was close enough to be within his reach, Merlin turned that dim-wit hound into a statue of stone, unable ever again to chew on another meaty bone. Merlin winked at Kerrie, bending before her in a grateful bow, knowing he had another spell to cast, and he'd do it now. He meowed and loudly screeched when the king tried to flee~ One more statue appeared in the tower and Merlin was free. ~ October 3, 2022 ~ Merlin the Magic Cat Contest Sponsored by Mystic Rose Rose
