Toadstool, toadstool

So brown and so tall

awaiting oh so great

a fall.

When you must die

at the end of the day.

Where will your dwarf live

do tell me I pray?

*

He wonders the forest

till the next rain.

Then

and only then

do I come again.

Middle Earth

Down in dungeons

deep and dark

Where dragons sleep

on quiet seas of gold

Secret doors to goblin’s treasure

Old scrolls

for wizard’s pleasure

Skeletons of warriors long deceased

Rusty swords and cold walls

Old

but sturdy

Village warriors

gone to challenge and died

Souls lost forever

in a labyrinth

of walls, ghouls

and treasure.
