Collage’ using the Queen of England.

This is a cautionary tale of unkind intent and its unfortunate ramifications

On Devil’s Night There once was a devil queen on Whispering Lane Mean and cunning her crew driven insane For millenniums hurling malice Content in her palace Casting a malevolent muse throughout her reign The King no longer amused by sonnets that shame Concoction’s of besmirchment tangents that defame He sends for his men Calls out to them bring me an enchanted quill before the sunrise flame On Devil’s Night… Along trails a fairy ascends with cascading red hair Whilst devil queen sleeps inside her musky lair Dreams of incantations linking locution associations Hater of poetry that allures not hers drives despair As the fairy sings with an angel's voice The King listens he has made his choice Let it be so my loyal Jester the fairy you‘ll sequester The zealous Jester lures to come rejoice! The jealous devil queen a tedious word crafter Responsible for cancelling laughter Now casts her spell expelling the fairy to hell It’s there she sings her happily ever afters You see she was in a realm from hell, and not even a spell could save her. The new reign of elect it is when she’s saved, and the devil queen will finally reflect. Denouncing her kingdom and foreboding. Keep Fairys free! To express their poetic revery

Anaya, there are some strong emotions expressed. How that does indeed inspire me to think about some of the feelings I have and to try to keep perspective.

I had a number #1 fan She-devil; she'd follow me around town in her black Mercedes-Benz and film me, accusing that I stole her identity. I had to file for a restrain order, it didn't help! She carried on, finally at long last vanished from my life. She slept in her car at the park, I tried to reason with her, the syndrome of unhoused plagued her and she responded with a spiteful demeanor (the she-devil). She called me Mary...it's not my name :o I hope you enjoyed my Halloween story!

I can think of a few hags that might qualify as devil queen. Ha! Just kidding of course. Interesting write and cute avatar

There are she devils amongst. I loved the Queen of England, she is an example of integrity and graciousness not a she devil. They are called Ha-hags some are 'creased up' and the horror hags have turkey necks! * like this fantasy entails, I enjoy composing fairytales about She devils, "Mirmantha" the sea-hag is one I'm proud of. Ty, Tommy. To Fairytales!

I was compelled to compose, it was eating at my subconscious, feels good to let your inner churning tempest unleash, due to the disturbing and intrusive, she devils that serve to assault ones equal-Librium ;)

Dear anaya, this is brilliant, and so well written , i smiled when you wrote on top that you didnt edit her neck and the way youv written these limericks is beyond creative, your way with rhymes and diction is impressive! I remember last year you dressed up for halloween and posted pics too, hope you are having a good one this year. “ You see she was in a realm from hell, and not even a spell could save her.” i know so many in such darkness, sad, and i agree with what daniel have said in comments, pleasure always reading you . Sending you light~

Ty Kim! I don't do scary - scary. I guess it all depends on the reader, different horror for different folks. I'm light Goth. lol

Dear Anaya, you created such a captivating and haunting tale of power, jealousy, and redemption. (Sounds like our world). I loved the rhythmic flow you used, creating an enchanting atmosphere. I feel there is always a struggle between good and evil, and your ink-well embodied the fairy and devil queen with such creativity. As I read this, I was happy to see your hopeful ending leaves a lasting impression of something greater. Loved It!! Autumn Blessings, MY Dear Friend, Daniel

Ty Daniel, it was my main goal - a rhythmic flow, that's what mattered most in these series of limericks. Even the devil queen can find redemption, and stop projecting herself in her evil transcripts, she'll leave behind as her legacy. Sigh. Really delighted you enjoyed!!

Hi Anaya, you certainly have a gift for the macabre, with your collection of limericks. Wishing you a happy Halloween evening. Xx

Ty, John! I was just commenting on your lovey "Apologies" poem. I myself will need to reflect upon my own trials and tribulations after all of the macabre poetry my muse balks. ;)

Your bewitching narrative proves to be a delightfully gothic treat to please any literary palette this bone-chilling Halloween. The story is a cautionary tale of unkind intent and its unfortunate ramifications. I'm currently working to expand and polish up my Kitty Limericks. If I'm blessed to leave a legacy behind, it will be my modest tribute to our beloved canine pals and the joy they bring us. Have a Happy Halloween, Anaya, Go Dodgers! Robert

Go Dodgers!! I'm reading too much Poe. I love all of your books, RG. Especially "Shakabukued" Tales From A Damaged Life Redeemed ..favorite, a memoir for the archives. Ty ps..i'm stealing away a line adding it to my Hag-Horror above. :o

I loved your limericks. The she devil can be quite cunning.

Ty, Victor, this was unexpected, in celebration of Devil's Night. It was incumbent upon me to rise to the challenge of composing this cathartic narrative !! Four hours to do-including collage'

Confused Yann? Fairy, Devil queen, king. lol. I was compelled to compose, it was eating at my subconscious, feels good to let your inner churning tempest unleash, due to the disturbing and intrusive, she devils that serve to antagonize the balance. Ty!!!
