A poem I originally wrote for someone who wanted 'something' about unicorns. I really like the way it shaped up, though it's not my best work.

Muzzle raised to the moonlight,

Almost translucent in the starsilver,

I held my breath to see it, but no avail;

Its ears pointed my position, and

In trembling thought it stood;

Frozen by fear and longing.

It shifted, in the silver light

And turned to flee, away.

Without thought, I cried

"Don't go!"

But he went, his moonlight flanks

And starfire tail rippling,

Silvered in the silence,

His hooves making no sound on the moss,

And my own heart

Drowning out the sigh of the stream he had drunk from-

Fool.

Beautiful! I love the imagery in this. And the last line. *grins*

:-) Aubra Penner replies: "Good! I was afraid the last line might be kinda lost on the reader- glad you like it."
