King Kade

On his throne he sits In armour adorn The father of Semaj Who one day will be sworn This hunter of demons Of his people he protects Generations of allegiance Infinitive elect All Semaj has learnt Has been handed down Through blood lines so strong One day he'll be crowned Their story goes back Many, many centuries ago When evil was rife And living was low Demons and Wizards Dragons and man Violence was rife Take when you can But this King Kade The North of Scotland he ruled His son was destined He was not to be fooled On a dark December night Whilst the castle was asleep A craft so unknown Rose from the deep From out in the Minch This metallic beast showed With flashing lights And a body that glowed It rode the waves And came to rest by the shore An opening appeared Like a magic door Three beings stood Not very different from us No fear was detected Had we already been sussed We welcomed them in But i knew in my heart For it was my son they wanted He was their new start Our dialogue was strained Mixing Gaelic with theirs But our wave lengths were similar We became distant peers This was the day My son Semaj left home To Cygnus-X1 Where one day he'd be throned What happened to us? Well the strong ones travelled To the Plough beyond As our past turned to gravel But our souls remained Like beacons of light For if the earth cried for help My son Semaj, was in sight http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/fantasy.php

I liked the visions of demons and wizards in your work - I have written such things for years. Who was Semaj. Also I am wondering what you mean by the "second round" - which contest are you talking about? Please let me know. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Tall tale in this one. Wild imagination you have. Are you still having trouble with the "Who's On Line"? I am. Keep the creative and magical pen flowing. Sara

Awesome continuation of the story! How about a book, Highlander? Perhaps a comic book? Kids as well as adults would enjoy this!! Hope you are ready for Christmas! This snow storm that we're having is cutting into the last minute preparations. Peace and love to you, James!

WOW!!! Semaj was earth-born after all! Can't tell you how much I love the way you unravel his history in your poems, James. Nor can I express how much admiration I have for the poet who created this masterpiece! Much love, Carolyn
