Jack Horne Poet Rhyme

My Quest

I rode a unicorn for miles,
And then a dragon flew me here.
The fairies took me to their queen,
Who introduced me to the seer.
He prophesised my kingdom’s fall,
But witches chanted, cast a spell;
Their magic overturned the curse.
My quest is over: all is well.
Still round the corner there may wait, 
A new road or a secret gate.

* Last two lines are the Tolkien quote

Gwendolen Song November 20, 2011 at 6:36 PM So you held onto the unicorn's horn as he twisted and turned over clouds and rainbows? This is a magical write...one that lost me in my childlike imagination. You wrote a successful children's HIT, Jack. Excellent mystical creatures for a child's mind! Good luck in this contest. You will soar! Gwendolen.
