The Maidens Lament
The maiden wandered sadly
and forlorn
From everyone she loved
so cruelly torn,
For she had betrayed noble
unicorn.
Now she regretted the day
she'd been born.
His horn was sought for
many a year
For the magic that made
poisons clear.
For her part she shed many
a bitter tear.
Only innocence had made
him draw near.
The hunters found him in
that leafy wood
Where next to the maiden
he tamely stood
Gently nibbling at her
hair and hood.
They destroyed with their
arrows all that's good.
People everywhere held her
to blame.
They reviled her and mocked
her sacred name,
But she did not deserve
this evil fame.
Men had betrayed her to
achieve their aim.

Unicorn Legends
Make up a story, tell me
a tale,
Pictures and rhyme, silly
or sublime.
Imagination is always the
key.
Pictures and words in harmony.
Fables or fantasy,
medieval fun,
Write it all down, don't
stop 'til your done.
Heroes and villians
are part of the cast,
Write a good tale and it
surely will last.
