Troubles & Troubadors
The Terrifying Tale
The timid tot toddled,
Tumbling towards the towering tree.
Trembling.
Tina took tiny steps
Trying to temper tripping.
THWACK.
The tremendous tempest
Topples the tree
Trapping the tot
Therein
The tangled trunk.
Terrified.
Tina trilled turbulently.
TWEET.
Thankfully,
Two traveling
Teachers-turned-troubadours
(Tara, Thom)
Turned towards the twittering tot.
They thrashed there
Trashing the tree
Til timber tumbled.
The troubadours' trusty tools
Toiled tirelessly
To tear the trunk
Trapping the tot.
TA-DA!
They triumphantly towed
The tot to the topsoil
Tapdancing
Til they tasted tomatoes.
The thankful tot
Told the troubadours
The terrible truth:
These trees?
Tombs.
The tumbling trees
Took Tina's trustees.
Toothless tears tumble
Till the teachers tell Tina
Their thoughts.
The three
(Tara, Tina, Thom)
Thereon traveled together.
They told tales
To track the time—
Tide to tide.

I fell in love with speculative fiction and poetry many years ago, but I have precious little time to write any. It was high time I started making Prose and Puns a priority, starting with Purple Poetry, Auqredis, and the World of Noyath.
