A Fairy Tale (Posted: Dec. 14, 2020)

There once were two children

That told a guardian about a monster

Beneath their bed.

In a soft voice the being said,

"Worry not little ones,

For I will slay it, and it shall be dead." 

Afraid they replied "but what if you don't, and

Then it comes after me, or me!"

"I will not fail", said the guardian, 

"I promise; safe, you will be." 

With the unsheathing of a sword

The guardian killed the foul beast, 

And it was not seen again.

Not even in the far east.

Killing off the night beasts for the children. A brave thing to do. A very nice short story in the poetry. Thank you Audie for sharing the amazing poetry.

This reminds of a book by John Connolly “the book of lost things.” A twisted fairy tale. I want to know what happens after.
