Fantasy Poem "Fairyland Fantasyku"

By Richard H. Fay

dishes clang
unfinished chores done
labouring brownie

cornstalks sway
ripe grain swiftly reaped
harvesting grogoch

pickaxe knocks
cave-in avoided
forewarning kobold

rover led astray

dank cloak spreads disease

hooves thunder
mortal rider drowned
murdering kelpie
