She rose from her bed, Cobwebs in her head, And studied the light in her room. Through windows it played Pale fingers that splayed Dispelling the darkness and gloom. Like a fairy it called And she followed, enthralled Ensnared by its enticing tune She peered through her blinds Astonished to find Bright stars and the face of two moons. Two moons glowing pale As if hung on a scale Yet tied to the earth like balloons Both fighting… Read More

Waves and storms Such fickle thorns Which billow and blow Shouting, “GO! NO! GO!” You staunch threadbare wings Ensnaring the one who sings Fly fairy, flee Find your victory. ~ Janna Vanderveen  

Hatchlings birth On the longest night When three moons align At the peak of twilight An immediate pairing Hatchling and sprite Two minds for sharing If the melding’s done right. ~ Janna Vanderveen Photo Credit: http://www.fanpop.com

Battle weary Morale dreary The war won But not done Insane Is the pain For loved ones slain Grief falls like rain Crashing Lashing In roiling waves Drowning graves In sorrow For a better tomorrow. ~ Janna Vanderveen Photo Credit: http://www.wallpaperhere.com

Moons Runes Muttering buffoons A sordid lot, my crew Torn sails Broken rails The thorn of my travails A beastly ship, this canoe Rotten health Dwindling wealth No pride or stealth Given in search of you. ~ Janna Vanderveen Photo Credit: http://www.widewallpapers.us

Chain mail and fire Nightmare or desire Soft feathers of flight Hardened scales of might Violent energy in hands Sizzling violet strands Of power For this hour Foreseen and foretold In prophesies of old Shout, woe is the day Wail, woe is the way Of black dragon and nightrider And the vengeance inside her. ~ Janna Vanderveen Photo Credit: http://www.pageresource.com

Inside autumn’s dream A pixie popinjay Weaves golden leaves as one Into a grand toupee. With wings so very sheer Your dance a grand ballet And preen before the crowd In an extravagant sort of way. ~ Janna Vanderveen    

Faerie and pixie, Both wearing green, Frolic beside, A blue-flowing stream. Both tiny and large Sprinkling star-dust with glee Proving size doesn’t matter. Where there’s inner beauty. ~ Janna Vanderveen    

Waters blue Cold oceans deep Dark roiling clouds Watch mermaids sleep Awaken light Fling starlight fair Revive the dead And answer prayer. ~ Janna Vanderveen Photo Credit: http://wakpaper.com, Karimdell Digital Art  

Verdant green Is the space between Where hidden vale And forgotten tale Boasts sprites and gnomes With tree-built homes ~ Janna Vanderveen (Photo Credit: http://www.wallpaperpin.com)  

Dragonrider queen With plumage ever fair Your dragon ate my cow And now I’ve none to spare. Your beauty is unworldly Your exploits told in song Your dragon’s legendary So please don’t take this wrong. Fly high above the clouds You’ve overwhelmed your stay And leave this precious valley Forever and a day. ~ Janna Vanderveen Photo Credit: http://fantasyinspiration.com

Crazed is the gaze Of sorrow worn, When flesh fails to adorn This metallic face. So violently erased Torn, rendered, disgraced. Ripped apart, Like my shattered heart. Oh, but your eyes Dripping tears, from blue skies You wail, moan, struggle to breathe You mustn’t give up, ever, please. With clarity I see Your unabashed love for me. Unfettered, unadorned, Already mourned. Beloved, you must run, Forget the ungodly one, And this ugly war Where revenge avenges the score. Seek the Narrator The great Re-Creator. Whose birth… Read More
