Once Upon a Bleary Moon

Prompt No 16: Write a “Once Upon a (Blank)” poem

Once Upon a Bleary Moon

Mountains spoke a grand tale
Of dragons and demons
The wind caught their yowls
The flora and fauna stared with delight
While the bleary moon lit the stage

There was never a moment so dull
In the story of mysteries and magic
All that listened moved to the rhythm
In a hypnotic melody with the mountains

The demons, the demons
They’ve come out of the nether world
Bloodthirsty demons rampaged over
The dragon’s fertile ancestral lands

The manicured greens and perfected fruit
Lay ruined under the putrid orange demon’s feet
The young dragons scattered into the caves
Of the mountain as the army readied
And surrounded the rouge demons

The dragons growled with practiced intimidation
Ripped through translucent flesh with quick gashes
Chewed on the fragile bones of the demons
Reclaimed their pride through efficient destruction
Chasing away the demons
