Aeriy.
they raised their pitchforks
the crowd gathered sticks
and picked up stones
ready to break Aeriy’s bones.
voices rang loud in the air
many folks gave a hearty cheer
ready to set Aeriy ablaze
they gathered piles of hay.
they lit the sticks ‘n’ hay
that they’d placed around Aiery’s feet,
a cry was heard from the crowd
— a lad had fallen to the ground!
some folks lost their sight,
others failed to hear a thing
not even the sound of Aiery sing
loudly for the creatures to hear
out of the woods a pack of wolves
appeared before the village
they failed to escape from Aiery’s
loyal, quick & hungry army.
Aiery snapped her fingers
the fire grew stronger
it hissed, & went flying
destroying everything in the village.
the wolves howled and waited
for their Master to head back
to their own resting place
in the dark, misty woods.
