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
