The Bicorn (A Fantasy Poem)

Mara Amberly

--

Here’s a fantasy poem I wrote some time ago that you might enjoy. :) A bicorn isn’t like a unicorn — it’s a monster.

The Bicorn

It wiled its way through the woods so dark;
Trees majestic, blotted out the light.
The snap of branches,
Call of a lark — high in the treetops;
While on the ground, false night.

The creature’s tread was marked by dread,
A panther’s face with a burgeoning grin;
Two stubby horns atop a catlike head,
Bones crushed where it walked,
A monster of sin.

Not a horse; a unicorn’s cousin?
Its form was twisted and fey;
Its eyes were dark,
Fur coarse and stained,
Teeth anticipating its juicy prey.

Thanks for reading. :) I hope you enjoyed my poem. Like many of my poems I’ve shared here on Medium, it’s from my poetry book, Enchanting Whispers, Romantic Dreams.
