have you
ever seen real
unicorn in uniform
march in parade, wearing
best tailored vest
with tassels?
‘tis no hassle
for mythical creature
that’s known
how to play its
own brassy horn
since magical day
’twas born,
before the fairies
ever began telling tales.
De delights in mythical quadrilles at dVerse Poets pub tonight…improv on 44 words.

Makes one wonder who the faeries are and what is their reason for telling tales! Nice write Lynn 👏

It’s a date hopefully way into the future ~ your mythical unicorn has a spot in my celebration of life parade .. brass band and all!

An honor, Helen! The unicorn band will keep practicing 🙂

Lynn, I like how your unicorn can play its own horn and make its own story before the fairies tell any tales, and that made me smile 🎺😊

Would you mind if I share this poem of yours as a ‘reblog’ at some point in the future, Lynn?

I’m pleased if you would reblog my poem, David! If possible, when it happens, let me know the context 🙂
