Madeline Male Poet Free verse

Dear Reader

I’m sorry, reader.
You’ve simply arrived too late.
All the action has already happened:

I’ve slain the dragon, 
stolen the gem,
ran through dagger forests,
sacrificed life and limb,
and no one was even there to see it!

I swam through a witchcrafted lake,
narrowly avoiding confrontation,
but wasn’t so lucky when it came to the snake,
lurking inside a pool of lava.

I’m sorry to say yet again
that you, dear reader, have missed all of this action,
all of it!

Now I am lying amongst wildflowers in a meadow.
