Armed with a strong desire, the young knight rode on;
having set out on his quest at the break of dawn.
His noble steed did eat up the ground at a trot,
while Sir Paladin kept looking for Camelot.
As over a vast domain he traveled this day,
Sir Paladin believed others had come this way.
The young ridere was just one of many who sought,
for not he alone, was looking for Camelot.
His quest, it was far from being an easy one;
in order to live out his dream, it must be done.
As he went on his way many battles were fought,
while Sir Paladin went looking for Camelot.
When finally he came to the end of the trail,
he searched and he searched, though it was to no avail.
Sir Paladin solemnly gazed at the spot,
where he had been looking for to see Camelot.

Beautiful denizens of the sea;
born of fish and humanity.
Sometimes sailors heard their songs
as they voyaged along.
A few even might
of one caught sight,
then so tell
wond'rous
tales.

The knight traveled on over the ice,
thinking that a warm shelter would be nice.
Sometime following he came to a cave,
wondering if that might be his grave.
With little choice presented to him,
he ventured through the opening grim,
figuring it would be cold, but was not;
in fact it leaned towards being cozy hot.
Not far in, breath at his nape he did feel,
which sent up his spine a terrible chill.
When he looked around he did so see,
a beast which loomed predominately.
But as fire from the dragon did fail,
this knight would survive to tell his tale;
for of gentle heart this creature was found,
and for the two friendship was likely bound.

A knight errant travels on his way,
way leading towards a dragon to slay;
slay he would with every bit of his skill,
skill written of through the ink and quill.
Quill, which could record his every deed,
deed depicting a knight on his steed;
steed carrying him into the battle,
battle to cause the ground to rattle,
rattle with the sound of victory,
victory mandating true glory;
glory, as the knight wins his princess fair,
fair of face with long golden hair.
| Author Notes | Thanks goes out to memephotos for use of this splendid picture! As you can see this piece was merely written in fun, as the rhyming lines are off of what they would be in a true loop poem. |

Come to the place under the sea
where mermaids are known to dwell;
far beneath the froth caused by the waves swell.
Here they frolic with absolute glee.
With a thrusting of their tails they flee
swiftly through the domain of the whale.
Come to the place under the sea
where mermaids are known to dwell.
Guided by the melody
of their songs hypnotic spell,
as in their wake you do trail
down to where Neptune one might see.
Come to the place under the sea.

underneath the sea
mermaids swim with pure delight
in Neptune's garden

In a time when the world was yet pristine
maidens questing the symbol of virginity
sought to find them in forests of verdant green
where they'd take refuge under the boughs of trees.
With a horn water was made pure for all;
upon this every creature could surely depend.
Everything was well till came the hunters' call.
Fleeing on split hooves would race against the wind.
In turn brought to bay by a pack of hounds;
their masters would then release arrows through the air.
The twang of bowstrings distinct among the sounds
as death's grip grabs hold on both stallion and mare.
Though it's been some time since I fit the role
and no bona fide proof that any have been seen
I have a feeling down deep inside my soul:
one I have not had since I was a teen.
Yes, their existence I still yet proclaim:
my hope renewed like the returning light of morn;
certain that somewhere some must somehow remain
for truly I still believe in unicorns

fairy folk flitting
about on gossamer wings
engaging magic

Within a unicorn's garden bees don't know how to sting,
birds fill the air with the songs they sing,
the sun shines down in aureate beams,
fountains flow forth from silvery streams,
butterflies float upon fanciful wing,
flowers, their fragrance, year 'round do bring;
as the only season here, is Spring.
Existance is as peaceful as it seems
within a unicorn's garden.
While the bells of fairies softly ring,
magic upon everything does cling.
Nighttime whispers of sweet dreams
where moonlight on the water gleams
like pearls on a silken string,
within a unicorn's garden.

Over and over I've heard it to be said,
from those who profess to be in the know,
that a dragon is a creature to be dread,
but take it from this dragon it isn't so.
Rather look to the fearsome knight instead;
for with his sword he brings to my kind woe.
As one by one of my kindred I'm bereft,
I'm wondering if I'm the only one left.
