Hi!

I wrote the below with a prompt to fashion a poem in which mysterious and magical things occur.

With sticky wands aloft

They frolicked into rooms

Festooned with battle scenes.

Plastic limbs tussled

Against hopelessly huge ones of fluff,

(No-one was injured.

Though some grimaces were fixed,

They seemed ironic in that light)

We tidied and shoved,

Cleared the floor with sweeps of strength;

Put paid to careful tactics

Any warrior had planned.

Teddy sentinels stationed,

Construction began –

We used the ‘best kind’ of bricks

To protect the Slither Snakes

From angry bird-breath.

Then the glue sticks were brandished once more –

Implements tested

For colour fastness –

And the sacred swirls

Produced by expert hands

For the mighty shields

(Cut by the blades of destiny)

The order of things,

Relayed by our blonde-haired general,

Executed by four pen-streaked hands.

The high photographer

Captured dragon flight:

A foe no snake expected.
