Two lovers smitten, cruel sister bitten by envy, her tantrum, a spell newly written ‘This shall be so, when next they shall meet His one desire, to roast her and eat One empty flagon, then the unwary He shall be dragon, she shall be fairy Monster shall never know love with a sprite Dragon shall see her as supper this night Their love shall falter and she’ll be his snack And he shall be mine when I change him back For he shall think twice ’fore next time he picks A lover whose sister is this dark witch.’ And yet in spite of her cruel drunken night At first light those lovers shared their first flight One dragon, one fairy, neither was prey For true love it seems shall find its own way 1 November 2021 Contest: Rhyme Me A Poem 2 (based on image 1) Sponsor: Eve Roper

Well done! In hindsight, her pose would never stimulate my brain the way she did yours . . . . .

In the long ago, I lived with a Lido danseuse who enjoyed that tippy-toe pose, so big angry blokes just become fall guys ...Aloha!

Hi Rico… I had a few attempts at this, and each attempt resulted in that skimpy, leafy two-piece going up in smoke. I decided to keep it ‘family entertainment’ and this is what happened. However, if she turned out to be real… you’d have to fight me for her!… second thoughts… I’ve seen her fella… big angry looking bloke! she’s all yours ;-) Terry

Incredibly fine writing, Terry. The images, the scene just clicked for me, and I'm not really into serious fantasy genre. Your rhymes and the flow of it are simply perfect. I see this at or near the top in the contest.

Thank you so much Milt. It took me a while to come up with a tale to accompany my chosen picture, but I got there in the end. Terry
