That's another fun fantasy poem!!

I particularly liked the polite gryphon and the concept of the black unicorn...

I'm glad you enjoyed this. I had fun tilting the usual motifs in peculiar directions.

Cute!

I love it when stereotypes/cliches are bent. I have characters that are good demons; and I have a character who is a sweet little girl full of love and cuddles, who also happens to be a murdering psychopath.

Yay! ysabetwordsmith April 8 2010, 22:11:23 UTC

I'm happy to hear that. Cliches are fun to twist for poetic inspiration.
