Family: Special Poem Episode

Family: Special Poem Episode

Aug 07, 2022

One of the readers, Fridge, kindly offered to write Elyse's poem from the last episode of Family!  It's a beautiful rendition of the poem involving Queen Gwenevere, Sir Percival, a dragon, two unicorns, a witch, and a gryphon.  They were willing to let me share it, so here it is!

She slips through the forest, adorned in

Bright, shined armour
rather than Silken
petticoats and lace.

He follows her trail,
Wind curling around them both
as they
Reach the clearing.

They saw him fall,
shot out of the sky.
Someone has injured,
Grounded him.

Two shimmering unicorns stand
either side of the dragon,
Their coats dripped in
Soft velvet.

In each other's eyes,
They recognise a
Desire to protect.

Percival looks to Gwenevere for
Guidance,
and they share a
Silent understanding between them.

They need help.

The Witch will heal the dragon,
If they can answer the
Gryphon's riddles.

Gwenevere answers each
Correctly until the
Last, the
Final riddle.

But she will not
Admit defeat.
Percival steps forwards,
Resolution in his
Sparkled eyes.

The Gryphon bows her
Mighty head, and
The Witch sighs.
He will help.

The Dragon's scales
Shimmer beneath the
Moonlight, his Crimson
blood moistening the soil.

They will heal him.

They will protect those
Who need protecting.
Always.

I wrote like three versions of this, but the first was sooo long I was like damn gotta change some stuff 😂 plus in my original one it was gwen and percy who were hunting the dragon, before seeing someone hurt him and then they changed their minds...there was too much plot in that version so I changed it 😂
