"A Place Called Shady Hollow"

-

 One day I was wanderin'
  A few days before the 'morrow.
  I came to a serene little place
  Known as Shady Hollow.
  Mentally, I s'pose, I had made a note,
  Of all the places I should seek
  T'would take me near the Lake of Dreams
  And down to Fairy Creek.
  As I wandered, I visited the Hobbit Gallery
  And sparked some friendly chat.
  I asked about the Elven Caves
  And the Furries Den, perhaps, to find a cat.
  A picnic lunch deluxe I ordered
  At the Rainbow's End Cafe.
  I chose to make a stop, as well,
  At the Toadstool Tavern along the way.
  The Treehouse had intrigued me,
  So there I ate my lunch in style.
  I was in no hurry, though,
  So I hung out for awhile.
  I didn't eat it all, 'cause 
  I saved some bits and crumbs
  For all the friendly, feathered guests
  And I still had room for yums.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  As I casually mosied along
  With an occasional, little hop,
  What popped into view, 
  But The Gecko Gift Shoppe?
  A catchy, wooden sign
  With words of forest green,
  "Enchanting gifts to buy,
  But first they must be seen."
  I chose to step inside
  Just to take a look,
  But I was compelled to buy
  A Shady Hollow Book.
  As I made my exit,  
  My sweet tooth hollered stop!
  As satisfaction awaited me
  At The Old Wiki Candy Shop.
  Inside I found some awesome goodies 
  Delicious, fine and dandy.
  A notice on the board 
  Told of delectably sweet Mood Candy.
  As I read some more, I found
  That I could Order BirthdayCakes
  A Sea Horse Soda Fountain
  Where I could drink some shakes.
  The Panda Pizza Parlor
  Beckoned folks to stop and eat.
  The Beaver Bakery's aroma
  Invited all to taste a treat.
  Ooh! Some Mice Cream Cones
  For 'twas a hot, steamy day. 
  The Mice Cream Crypt 
  Was directly on my way.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  As the sinking, setting sun
  Glowed a vivid, golden red, 
  I knew I had to head for home
  With these memories in my head.
  As I embarked upon the lane 
  That lead me homeward bound,
  I turned to engrave the wonder
  In my brain that I had found.
  I knew that I would once again, soon,
  Come back many times more.
  My wonder here today
  Had amazed my very core!
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  Since then, I've returned
  Many times ten.
  Each visit I'm amazed
  Time and time again!

"An Orc's Meal"

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  "So, I'm an Orc.
  What if I am?
  Don't need your permission
  Nor judgment, so scram!
  You're just a measly elf
  The likes of you, ugh!
  Your opinions are worthless.
  You'll squash like a bug!
  My feast is ready.
  Crisped on the grill.
  Tasty human loins
  To engorge on, to fill.
  Oh, but, I'm in need of dessert.
  Hmmm...now what shall it be?
  Wait! A meal's not finished
  Without an elf which I see!"
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
                        With smacking lips,
                        A belly rub,
                        "Ahh! That was good!
                        I accept no sub!"

"Orcs"

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  Savage and beastly, with the desire for flesh
  Warriors for blood, best when it's fresh.
  They know not pity, only wrath.
  Feared by most with never a bath.
  Revered as ugly, without a heart,
  Of which is their aim with a deadly dart.
  Fearless soldiers, endurance immense,
  With focus on killing, forthright, intense. 
  Of twisted minds, forth they plunder. 
  Slaughter's their goal, all to asunder.

A Silly Poem!
The Dragon - A Silly Poem!

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  I'm a great, big dragon with a breath of fire.
  I'd spew some now, but I need to retire.
  I have claws so crookedly forming a curve
  I'd pounce right now, but I haven't the nerve.
  My yellowish-green scaly, rough skin
  Would scare anyone a mile within.
  I have spikes so sharp that run down my spine.
  When I scratch my ear, I bleed everytime.
  My clumsy, big feet trip over my tail.
  I have googly, green eyes that would frighten a whale.
  My gosh! I am a sad, sorry sight.
  Don't run into me ever, especially at night!

"O, Hail The Mighty Dragon!"

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  O, hail the mighty dragon!
  O, hail the mighty beast!
  With advantage, extreme,
  He reigns supreme
  In a land from west to east.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  This mighty beast, an emperor,
  Of all places far and near.
  He rules the world with fire,
  Trembles all with fear.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  O, hail the noble dragon!
  O, hail the kingly beast!
  He shakes the turf,
  Riles the surf,
  When his anger is released.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  Bestowed a power so great,
  He commands respect of all.
  No man or creature deny him,
  Or they are bound to fall. 
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  O, hail the mighty dragon!
  O, hail the mighty beast!
  Majestic, unfurled,
  He rules the world,
  With no enemies in the least.

"The Great Winged One"


  Soaring through the heavens,
  Dancing across the stars,
  Your beauty is astounding,
  Majestic more than Mars.
   
  Be still the breath of watchers.
  Seize their gaze, behold.
  Your grandeur so immense,
  Of words cannot be told.
   
  Your father is Poseidon,
  The god of the sea.
  Your mother was a beauty,
  Before scorned by jealousy.
   
  There are many that desire
  To capture your essence,
  But all, indeed, fall short
  Of your magnificence.
   
  Although, a constellation,
  Your spirit, it shan't contain,
  For you will soar forever
  In a place of no domain.
   
  Oh, great winged one,
  With thy name of Pegasus,
  Shine within the hearts
  Of each and all of us!
