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

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.

What a cute little poem Jack! What an imagination you have! Quite the adventure this royalty had, and what befalls him in the future!! We all seem to be waiting for that new road or especially the secret gate!! I'm hoping mine comes in the near future!! Truly a fabulous work!!
