I'm entering this poem in the Spring Fling Writing Contest. Today is National Unicorn Day, so I'm sharing a story about a goblin. And a fairy princess. Okay, there might be some unicorns. I hope you enjoy it.
And I hope that wherever you are, you feel safe and well. *hugs*

Three Unicorns Choose Riders
(127 words)
Here they come, horns all shining
with the last rays of day.
I’m the only goblin waiting
in a long line of fey.
As the first girl is chosen,
It’s hard not to compare.
She’s a fairy, wearing flowers
and a crown in her hair.
I’m an outcast, a goblin,
but I want this so much!
Two unicorns have chosen
their new riders by touch.
So, I drop my eyes, waiting.
I hear hooves closing in,
and suddenly the hairy,
hot breaths tickle my chin!
And these unicorn kisses
fill my mind with new dreams
of a lively, real friendship
and surprising race schemes.
When I leap to ride my partner,
she makes sure I’m all right.
Then we race the other riders
underneath Moon’s kind light.
And I hope that wherever you are, you feel safe and well. *hugs*
