Enchanted Creatures

In an enchanted land in a forest vast
 Where the drooping willow sighs
 A wizard with the spells he cast
 Turns dragons into dragonflies!

 Another creature dwells therein
 Which lights up the night
 Emitting a light which blinks
 This creature is called the Huffle-wink

 But when dawn's hue paints the sky
 The Huffle-winks change into butterflies!
 They dance to the whisper of the breeze
 And flutter among the gnarly trees

 Strange creatures roam this enchanted realm
 Where the wizard does conspire
 The wise old owl, perched in the elm,
 Watches, as dragonflies breathe fire!

Hi Joseph, I really enjoyed this tale from start to finish. It was so enchanting and well written. Let's see wizzards, dragons and huffle winks . Your imagination soared in this write. I don't have a clue how to write for this contest. Excellent job. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Ps, what is a huffle wink?
