Example
And So It Began by JezzieG
In those days past so very long ago
When magic was shared on gossamer wing
With old stories told by the bards that sing
And fairies danced amid the moonlight’s glow
While sprinkling their magic dust where they go
To refrains plucked out on the bardic string
Soon to the song the fairies learned to bring
Their own voices to the musical flow
Around the world we could hear them all sing
Enchanting songs only magic can know
Mankind heard it too where the spring winds blow
To the choir early man’s voices did ring
Of when the world was young with all to show
In those days past so very long ago
