Literature Text

The selkie only sheds her skin
In a sea of turpentine
And the hippocampus silken scales
Flourish in the brine
When pixies paint with tiptoes on
A sheet of golden wheat
And the manticore's velvet tongue
Lay panting in the heat

The karkadaan carouses when
Its marble horn is found
Bunyips yip in canvas bogs
When no one is around
Wyverns roost on amethyst
Piles in their hoard
The Questing Beast is not deterred
By tyranny's glass sword

Despite that now the leucrocota
Plains are baked to clay
And the Yale's noble visage
Only there in trumpet's bray
A dragon's hoard is buried still
Within the agile mind
Forever is the phoenix nest
There for you to find
I don't consider myself much of a poet, but I wrote this...gosh, a year or so ago? Thought I'd submit it with some tweaks, as I still enjoy it.

...wasn't really sure what to categorize this as, but I guess it works as a kid's poem so there?
