Prompt: Isolation

Prompt: Isolation
An elven nation in isolation.
Hidden by enchanted vegetation.
One insurgent. Broke the spell.
All their safeguarding veils fell.
Destruction by fallacious ambitions.

Art by Hoàng Lập (Solan)

Prompt: Luminance

Prompt: Luminance
A femme fatale. Her hips sway, pendulous.
Her weapon glows. With golden luminance.
This princess is no damsel.
No fiend her gun can’t handle.
All her bounties complete. With elegance.

Art by SBraithwaite

Prompt: Lost

Prompt: Lost
A forest that only the lost can find.
An enchanted woodland, warm and alive.
Its comfort — a mother’s womb.
Nature heals all lost souls’ wounds.
A place where only the broken can thrive.

Courtmacsherry woods, Cork, Ireland by Keith Kingston

Prompt: History

Prompt: History
History starts with an invader’s vow.
A dim man. His dim men. Their lavish scow.
A trespasser’s wretched flag.
Stabbed it into foreign sands.
History ends. The fool, dead by arrow.

Art: Newell Convers Wyeth (1882-1945)

Prompt: Ethereal

Prompt: Ethereal
It ensnares wanderers, the forlorn road.
A meandering rowan berry grove.
The fae’s realm, ethereal.
Mystical. Arboreal.
A dark, and mirthless timelessness forebode.

Prompt: Ferocity

Prompt: Ferocity
Heed caution. Full moons promise bad omens
Do not be fooled by beasts who were once men
Unbridled ferocity
Hungry, wild, monstrosities
Make meals of infatuated women

Prompt: Infallible

Prompt: Infallible
The monarch, self proclaimed infallible 
Discovered dragon scales were valuable
Sent his men to kill the pests
Promised them untold riches
Now dead men hang from dragons’ mandibles

Prompt: Adversity

Prompt: Adversity
Weary from adversity, she slumbers.
Her hunger — pure agony. They hunt her.
Mortal darling. A mistake.
The claim on his skin — cribrate.
Her sole comfort, a stake from her lover.

Prompt: Echo

Prompt: Echo
Munted remains of a mossy moon gate.
Tangled in marigolds, it marinates.
Nighttime’s zenith, it yawns wide.
Lures our children. Echoes lies.
At first light, its maw shuts. A golden grave.

Trying my hand at limericks.
