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.

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.

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.

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.
