Escapism

Illusions

Once upon a time...

Hush! It's only a tale

and happily ever after

naught but an empty promise

Silver knights in

enchanted castles

fair maidens, a quest

a sword, a dragon

Nothing but dreams

to weave beside the fire

As we grow old

and forget the fantasies

of childhood.

I wish I could remember mine.

Also, because I'm not comfortable doing this anywhere but here in my own space, I'm including links to both of my submissions at Poetry.com.
Temptation (my first entry)
Elegy (which can be rated also, even though it's not eligible for the big contest)
