Fantasyku

By Richard H. Fay

growing darkness
a swelling evil horde
warlock’s legions

an orphan’s tears
cry of the innocent
a call to arms

mystic creation
keen lines reflect moonlight
enchanted sword

limned starlight
inscribed parchment scroll
magic spell

swift and mighty steed
veteran of many battles
loyal white dragon

forbidding castle
perched atop a distant cloud
fortress of nightmares

powers collide
a savage storm unleashed
sorcerous fray

the break of day
dawn over a freed land
glad celebrations
