Oh sweet Unicorn please tell me how you came to be
Your are full of magic and beauty and live as one free
To perch high on the mountains of all you survey
Spreading wonder and light from the dawn of my day
Dear human in question please let me explain
The road to enlightment is filled with much pain
I was but a beast, a creature in torment
I asked the creator for but a small moment
I climbed the great stair and asked to be good
He thundered to me, if I dared then he could
See I was but a Bull with two curly horns
I was tired of anger and my future was torn
Everything happens for a reason, he started to say
including those two horns and your choice this day
You were given a choice at the begining of all time
To come back to me and be one with the Divine
Your horns represent both love and hate
Your true heart within has decided your fate
For having no hate enhanced your great quest
Your heart does ring true and passes my test
I see in your heart that it’s not of a bull
Of love and creation to the brim it does fill
I will make you unique and transform your soul
Make you special with magic and give you control
To guide your own fate and be judge of yourself
Be honest and kind and distribute your wealth
For your name is Unicorn and you have but one horn
Your beautiful and wise and from truth are you born
(And know that I will be there for you, always)

I am curious hun, I never thought it too sad, I hope all is well.
I love unicorns but pegasus is my fave. Remember that song,

my name means horse,
I’ll fly with you now,
until I change my course,
etc, etc.
Well I am still looking for a unicorn one. You take care dear Stu, and your poem is lovely yet I am sorry to know that the emotions were behind the write.
Love to you and Bec.

Yeah all is great Liz…the
Yeah all is great Liz…the write reflects last year and the point that good people choose to still remain good dispite the best efforts of jerks to pick on someone who seems different (ie writes poetry). I do love Pegasus he was a winged unicorn right?
This place is great in the way that if your feeling emotional a write like this is created and you feel SOOO much better afterwards and created something nice in the process
Best Regards Stu.. :-)
hey psst …Bec is good too :-)
Psst and Sshh
Glad Bec is good too. No horn on Pegasus, just wings. And I am so happy to know you are feeling better. Leave last year in the past and lets get on with it.
Love to you both, sshh, and keep on writing.
Love Lyz.

Hey thanks Jayne, you picked the passages that I wasn’t all that comfortable with and have made a couple of changes and a few subtle changes of my own…I do like the ending a lot but I agreed that a couple of your changes were very good and have edited them accordingly.
Think the purpose and flow is much better now
Thankyou muchly Jayne
Best regards Stu :-)
Dear Stu
I am so glad you liked my tweaks … the problem with critiquing for me is that i hate changing someone elses work but over the months have seen how its helped me … I am trying to hone my critiquing skills and i appreciate you being so kind as to indulge me … thanks very much for that
kind regards Jayne-Chloe x x
Just Magic...

Your spelling teacher asks you to fix up ‘Dared’ : )

And re: your comment, I smile a lot these days :-)
Thankyou Bec xoxo
Beautiful, beautiful poem
Just one more wee mistake… (everything) (Everyting happens for a reason, he started to say)
I love horses. One of the many animals in our world that are almost human. If only Unicorns did exsits this would be spectacular. I’ve posted a new poem and would like it if you could give me your comments and thoughts. By the way you write, similar to myself, I think you may like it.

Hey thanks Xena465 I have
Hey thanks Xena465 I have fixed the mistake…I’m not much of a speller lol.
I will take a look…
best regards Stu
wow I loved this. I have
wow I loved this. I have loved unicorns all my life, and you did well to honor them. Beautiful job!
Greeneyes
Unicorns…Such a wonderful
Unicorns…Such a wonderful magical creature and they exist in our dreams and thoughts. I was a little inspired by the Unicorn in the movie Stardust with Claire Danes….one of my favs..
Thankyou so much Greeneyes
Best regards Stu :-)
Did you ever see Legend,
Did you ever see Legend, That old movie with Tom Cruise? Beautiful movie, but sad.
Hi Greeneyes, yeah was a
Hi Greeneyes, yeah was a good movie..but your right..quite sad..I like new movies set in older times…its kind of an attraction I guess…And I do like Tom Cruise as an actor.
Stu :-)
Got to the party late again
I do love the twist on this tale of old and who is to say it is any less likely than any of the others.
Women and unicorns? now there is a question …why do we like them…the hope of peace and love and rightiousness? perhaps.
Can I be a nit picker to to perfect this lovely poem
On the line
Make you special with magic and give you control
take out the and and put in a comma…the beath of the spoken poem is so much better that way, try it and see what you think.
Seabhac
Thats it hey, whose to say
Thats it hey, whose to say it didnt happen this way :-)
I’m really happy with the way this one turned out. I have to admit that the line you picked out is one of my favs in the poem as the way I’ve written it kind of has the feel of waves evenly spaced lapping on the shore…But thanks for the comment as I do have a look at any changes suggested as I’m always one for improvement and do change them when needed. Hey I’m far from perfect…get reminded quite often lol…
Thanks so much Seabhac
Best regards Stu :-)

hmmm
you kept using ‘you’ all the way thru it, got confused where the unicorn stopped talking. and that first stanza? kinda sounded like a barbie commercial. odd reading it with a superman pic right next to it tho. all in all, it was an interesting read. not bad, not saying i hated it.
