The Elf of Dragonshire
An Oracle of Ireland Tale
Shaneise, a little birdie told me of your b-day
There is so much good stuff for her to say
You're the only one shes ever connected
So deeply, as if by universe, you were selected
And your fashion sense does apparently slay
So just like her sister's poem before you,
You get a very special rhyming tale too
A tale of a woman so natural and wise
One who helps others in a state of demise
Adding yet another mystic to the slew
This tale will be of a magical woman
That was bound to no mortal man
She came from the land of dragonshire
And to be a fashion model she did aspire
To show the world her skin ever so tan
But little did she know about her past
Of how much magic her line had amassed
900 years of magic concentrated down
Now triggering the final countdown
To the cleansing of the great Belfast
1000 years ago the great seer saw
When the great pond would thaw
'Tis when the great evil will be free
To corrupt from the land to the sea
But he wouldn’t be any ole outlaw
As Shaneise was born way too soon,
Another born to an Aquarian moon,
She was left to a fragile single mother
But then she was passed to another
As the sun rose on a hot day in June
Taken away before she could learn
About the inner magics that burn
So she led a eccentric girl's unique life
Accompanied by lots of grief and strife
From a mother that was greatly stern
The ragged clothes she always wore
Greatly affected her to her very core
So every day she plotted her escape
For a life that she could reshape
And by that she absolutely swore
One day she saw an opened door
An escape she could easily score
For there was a call for females tall
To model in Belfast and bare it all
This was what she was made for
She arrives to the Celtic city
Looking like grace and beauty
The city was sprawling and grand
Ready for molding at her hand
And not ready for one so pretty
From here the story gets good
In a land where evil once stood
A pretty little wood elf now resides
In fashion she makes great strides
Magically weaving cloak and hood
But then a strange thing occurred
When she read an ancient word
Her unseen runes went neon
Her magic now fully turned on
Her vision blurry and words slurred
The power rushed through her core
Dropping her to the cold hard floor
She rose with rune tattoos glowing
Strength and power now overflowing
The elf is now ready for the new war
As the shock-waves rocked the nine hells
And penetrated the space-time parallels
Lord Dughall knew the time had come
And sounded the demon war drum
Into Shaneise flooded ancient spells
The Lord Mayor unleashed the nether
The tear brought dark, stormy weather
The people of Belfast dropped to knees
Uttering prayers in repeats of threes
But Shaneise pulled them all together
As unimaginable evil rapidly descended
The entire town she fervently defended
earth, air, fire, water, and ether merged
So that the horrible evils could be purged
In the beautiful lands that were contended
Lord Dughall descended to the battle field
With his demon enchanted sword and shield
Shaneise's power was almost depleted
But the Lord Mayor was overly conceited
The young elf refused to get herself killed
With her strength now almost expended
She lifted her head with her arms extended
With her last breath, she dug deep within
And the runes lifted off of her elven skin
The explosion had time and space blended
As evil was defeated and nether closed
Shaneise's body lay lifeless and exposed
But the story wasn’t over for the heroine
The oracle of Ireland had narrowed in
Primrose came and her life was reimposed
