Amber Silver / Text 7 of 10 / The First Butterfly*
"The First Butterfly*" by Amber Silver
SciFi/Fantasy text 7 out of 10 by Amber Silver. ←Previous - Next→
| I am actually really proud of how this poem turned out. This is my second attempt at a poem in three days, after a two year hiatus! I tried to write a story of the exact same nature as this poem, but failing a completion, turned to poetry instead. This happened after I was inspired by Laura Hewett's poem, The Legend of the Fae. LOL, I hope you enjoy!!! Posted: October 9th, 2003 Updated: October 18th (Thanks everyone!) Moderator's Choice: October 15th, 03 |

Once a very long time ago
occurred a tale of terrible woe
when a reclusive demon decided that
the wondrous animals who upon earth sat
were far more lovely than he.
So a plan the demon devised, to see
if he could some how rid the world of
the beautiful creatures from the soil above.
The bitter demon began his endeavor,
guised as a woman. He felt his plan clever.
From beneath the soil the demon came
to begin his cruel and wicked game.
First to the Unicorn the demon went
for the unicorn's pride was unrepent.
Then a foul question the demon asked,
an evil test that she could not pass.
The demon then cursed that unicorn,
a cruel spell that banished her alicorn.
What a terrible shame, a paradox sublime:
for that unicorn became the first equine.
Then the demon traveled about the land
changing fantasy to reality with a wave of his hand.
When through the whole world he had traveled
and most of the earth's magic he had unraveled,
he came at last to a dainty fae,
whose kind he despised in terrible way.
When he laid his eyes upon her pretty face
he asked no questions, he just destroyed her race.
Then he began to laugh in relentess mirth,
for now he was free to rule o'er the earth.
But at that moment the demon got a fright,
when appeared a Goddess to make wrongs right.
With a contemptuous curse she sent him to hell,
but his magic was permanent, so she wove her own spell.
Though the others of magic couldn't be helped that day
she swore that history would remember the Fae.
The Goddess called her magic, and shed a tear from her eye
and then the Fae was reborn as the world's first butterfly.
