elvens

story time

here we go my good trusted friend
off the path into the deep forest
hold my hand and don't be scared
this is where the others fear to go
I know exactly where we are going
in a little while you will see the golden glow
of the warm fire in the deep woods
where the elvens play
i will tell them you are my friend
they will love you in an instant
and share their magic with you
enjoy the music and the dance
when you return to home
don't bother telling the others any of this
they won't believe a word you say

I thought this said "elevnsies" and I was like, "Ooh! Snack Time!" But no. It's about elves. Good thing I just had my noonsies.

you're a doll I know you hate when I say things like that so kiss off

[Zoe Richardson]

Dolls don't do much, do they? I prefer being a cat. You can call me Kitty!

you're my sweety sugar dolly baby

I'm more tangy than sweet. Sugar dissolves instantly. Vinegar lasts forever.

I definitely wouldn't tell anyone about it. At my age, people would think it was the first stage of Alzheimers.

Hmmm… this could be a sweet child's adventure into myth and magic. Or, it could be the beginnings of a very dark tale of a child lured to doom. Intriguing read.

[LostSage]

you are new to me and from your name it sounds like you're a worrying mommy mommy mommy. I understand. I can assure you I do not lure children to their doom. I love the sound of children playing in the yard. from your new friend jeff

I didn't think you lured children. I just saw the two ways the poem could be taken -- likely because I also dabble a little in horror poetry and writing.

[LostSage]

wow i think I get you. I better get my popcorn and and sit still and wait for the horror movie to start. my fave horror movie is The Ring. don't read this. if you read this it's already too late

If you check my profile, you'll find a collection of "Twisted Nursery Rhymes" that might interest you.
