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

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
