James Fraser Poet Rhyme

The Ogre and the Maiden

Ogre so hideous
It stands firm
As if sedated
By her seductive charm
 
This fiendish giant
Of a fairy tale past
Down in the sewer
Is it one of their last
 
Is it here for a reason
Spawning new life
Luring this maiden
To it's ogreish strife
 
With it's monster hand
Her thigh it brushes
Intake of air
Her heart rushes
 
For in her hand
She grasps a red rose
And holds it aloft 
In the ogres eyes, glows
 
It metamorphoses
Before her eyes
The red rose lies dead
The maiden cries
 
She lifts her head
In tear laid-en see
A handsome man
Stands in front of she
 
This fairy tale ogre
Had a hidden past
Being spell bound and cast
Not one of it's last
 
They climb from the sewer
Daylight is reached
Hail the red rose
Natures powers reach
