A song for a pike
As requested:
There once was a tree that grew tall near tarbe.
Around it stood willow birch alder and ash.
but the tall tree was roah planted by aleph.
It stood and it grew and in its dreams took a step.
It wanted to walk and to dash
and to talk and to wander into tarbe.
There once was a wind trashing through its twigs.
They lashed and they bend as far as they could
Then one cracked and then crashed with a zig
Pikemaker sep found it, all was as it should.
He trimed and he carved and pealed form it the bark
Turned twig into a pike so fine it could be fit a monarch
And while his hands moved he dreamt of the son he never had
The twig felt his sorrow and it became sad
Twig pike could not shed tears but it felt like a cry
Something far away heard twig pike and it was a fae
They made a deal and fea shaped twig pike into a son
But sep he was old and was dead when fae was done
in tarbe years later
a boy ruhach to his bones
Met another years later
roah to his bones
one once was a pike
so it was his nature to strike
With a sting
The other so bardlike
that it was his nature to strike
a chrod with a string
and to sing
