Something surely taken from folklore.
It swam with a fin,
invited “Leap in!”,
and the child was seen nevermore....

I’m a wee, bitty Leprechaun.

Only two foot four,
But my legend goes on and on!...

The View
Rainbows are for fairytales
Life does not grant such foolishness 
Black and white, there are seldom grey areas 
The palette is limited in its capabilities 
Folklore painted the world a beautiful lie...

[paraphrase of a Svan folk song]

You were born fully grown.

I looked into the starlit sky and saw
That you were the village
And you were the world."...

Lasting Memories
It feels long ago.
When I first got to hold.
The tenderness of love so bold.
And I stored the folklore.
Should in case everything go.
That I may have memories of 
gold.
Living on for eons, never seen 
before....

Premium Member A Swift Clerihew: Taylor's Version
Taylor Swift spins stories, her songbird-like sensations,
an underrated pop princess with poetical persuasions.
Her complex lyric lexicon, like a folklore luminary,
invites the listener to see themselves as a fellow visionary....

Lion/Dragon
Slip through the cracks of the jungle,
Crawl onto the innocent,
Slither through the liquid,
Scaly snake of folklore tales.
Maim and kill the men,
Of which God made first,
They'll kill the Lion/Dragon,
Before the next verse....

Edinburgh
Folklore drifts
past cobblestone
like ash.
Along High street,
I traipse through secrets,
foraging
ghosts in
Castle Rock’s
slate gaze.
I stir up
ancestors
to warm my spirit
as an Auld Reekie dawn
bares 
its dented armor....

Don't eat the bear 
and the bear won't eat you
Don't stomp on flowers
Don't spit on the dew
If you are a bad person
your life will worsen
But if you are good  
then there's no need for cursin' 
Yoi yoi la la la la yoi yoi la....

A dragon is not a dinosaur. Those reptiles do not live anymore. Saint George was a liar. Dragons do not breathe fire. That was all a product of folklore. They’re extinct reptiles. Larger than the ones today. Dinosaurs are gone.
