Mythical Creatures and Fairytales

Autumn's sigh emotion thrown across the night.
Stars shiver in the laden cold with the moon's sight.
The court yard had the comfort and invisibility
As the elves, faeries, and minotaur physicality
As they dance in the inner labyrinth among
Countless others of their mythical young.
No mundane would give it a second look.
Yet, there is no such thing as a Golem in a nook.
Bella, beautiful with pale skin and blond hair,
Wide clear blue eyes and pointed ears love to share.
She liked the summer best for the world grew warm
And the dragons came. She wondered if the rain storm
Is what brought them. Her brother Carmel, joins in
The dance holding an olive branch while all the faeries spin.
Dragons menacing roar with crackling fire of thunder 
Magical serpentine fierce in all their mystic wonder,
Fluoresce scales in brilliant metallic shine livery; 
Benevolence manner, bold chivalry.
Leap into the air, with their outstretched leathery wings
Weaving between the clouds to catch the air above like kings.
Elves as stars in a distant realm, together
Under a blanket sky, whirling in shadows of purple heather.

Quite a 'whirling-dervish' of a fantasy, Eve! I was intrigued by your use of the word 'golem.' I've always thought it to be extremely esoteric, the knowledge of it limited to very religious Jews. Apparently not!! ... Something I've learned today! Thanks for the education. G.L. in the contest, gw
