In a balmy late summer breeze
Truedessa &
Captain Pat Hatt
along with the rhyming cat
continue their journey at sea
Under dazzling yellow sunlight
searching the endless waterways
cat leisurely
naps catching warm rays
peering forward, spectacular sight
Double rainbow arching the sky
misty haze smell of fresh fallen rain
Truedessa softly singing
refrains
Captain Pat breathes a warm sigh
feeling the ebb & flow
I
drift further into sea with you
feeling the ebb & flow
I
drift further into sea with you
Captain steers the ship ahead
Truedessa smiling with glee
perhaps, the rainbow holds the key
cat shaking his
head with dread
Could be a portal to the other side
where the emerald water shines
colorful crystal, beautiful designs
boundless as the oceans rolling tide
Holding tight under the archway they go
sailing into a kaleidoscope of wonder
burst of lightning & cracking thunder
shifting atmosphere, radiant glow
Captain declares to the right land ahoy
anchoring the ship they row to shore
lush green island waiting to explore
plenty of white sand cat purring with joy
Strolling the
beach, cat digging holes
shimmering below a
golden lamp
rubbing the side, air becomes damp
blue black smoke swirling out of control
Truedessa grasping
Captain Hatt's hand
cat ready to attack, wickedly.. sneering
ghostly figure suddenly appearing
through the haze a mystical land
Genie, unleashed
before their eyes
bellowing who awakens me from my sleep
setting me free, a reward you will reap
but, first a deed to acquire the prize
Magical compass & map if you succeed
you must enter the dragon's gruesome lair
free the white hare,
a dangerous affair
terms stated... hesitantly...they agreed
Creeping the dark cavern floor
snap & crackle of broken bones
surveying remains of the unknown
pending danger hard to ignore
Sharp claws, glittering scales
deep golden eyes, rush of heat
smoke filled cave, fiery beast,
cat hunting the scent of his trail
Fire breathing dragon ready to brawl
Captain Pat swinging his mighty swords
Truedessa chanting magical words
white hare trembling against the wall
Music fills the chamber hypnotic song
weary dragon
slipping into a trance
Captain Pat Hatt
taking a chance
grabs the white hare, singing along
Rushing down the mountain side
toward the beach wild and free
longing to be back on the sea
blue genie waiting full of pride
Now, the mystical island will prosper
with an abundance of growing love
flying on gigantic wings above
dragon once again our gate keeper
Truedessa & Captain Hatt smile with glee
taking possession of the compass & map
cat yawning, exhausted he needs a nap
twinkling of an eye they are back at sea
Sleeping under silent stars & silver moonlight
new treasures to help them on their way
towards the coral reef & emerald bay
reaching for each other whispering good night
lost in the reflection of your eyes
a
sea of hope resides
lost in the reflection of your eyes
a
sea of hope resides
posted for dVerse... a little fun for tonight and for those who wondered about the journey it continues to the emerald bay known as bora bora...
This was fun, Truedessa. A wonderful magical adventure!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary..it was fun to write..
Deletecats always need a nap...ha...and i have always wondered at rainbows being a portal to another world...loved this continuation of your tale...tail...it is a cat you know...smiles.
ReplyDeleteHi Brian,
DeleteI think a rainbow is a bit magical and who knows could be a portal to another realm. The cat got me started on these tales and now I just find them fun to write.
hahaha quite the tale
ReplyDeleteYou set sail
Dragons and rabbits
The pair are getting into bad habits
Captain Pat Hatt sang too
Surprised it didn't wake the sleeping dragon or turn all blue
A genie found from the giant littlerbox
Beats a pair of ratty socks
And now they have the map
Unless it is some evil trap
We shall have to see
What becomes of them as they find glee
while the cat just covers his ears
Or gives a few oh dears
So glad you enjoyed the tale
Deleteas we took sail looking for
that emerald bay..lol..
let's hope the map helps
them find their way to
treasures galore..
PS - I told you that you cannot staple my lips
Pleasure and treasure
DeleteTo each hope there is no measure
And staple those lips
Hmm maybe I'll find something else aboard some passing ships
Pleasures & Treasure
Deletein a deep blue sea
feeling the gentle breeze
watchful, I will need to be
who knows what you will find
in a passing ships hull
just don't bring back any skulls
What if it is a crystal skull though?
DeleteIt gives of fa shiny glow?
Could be worth a penny or two
Actually I'll probably think of Indy 4 and throw up in my mouth upon view lol
crystal skull..hmmm..that might do
Deletecould tap into a lost civilization
new discovery, as we break through
beam us up to a space station..
What an adventure, very imaginative write ~ Yes for those magical powers and finally for the cat to take a nap ~ Enjoyed this one, smiles ~
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is fun writing an adventure or two something different to entertain my muse.

ReplyDeleteGood Morning Claudia,
DeleteThanks for the visit...
what a rich imagination you have, i got lost in this tale at sea, lost in all the rich imagery and the cat napping. my reply to you, is refelected in my favorite passage;
ReplyDeletelost in the reflection of your eyes
a sea of hope resides
lost in the reflection of your eyes
a sea of hope resides
to see Hope reflected in someone's eyes, is far better than any app.
have a wonderful day, Truedessa.
Thank you so much for the visit and kind comment. I hope you have a wonderful day as well.
DeleteRich with imagery, strong story-telling and magic and fun; what more could I ask for?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the visit and I am glad you enjoyed my adventure at sea.
DeleteVery clever - a sort of inverted ballad - like that you've reversed the rhyme scheme to match the fun, whimsical take on Aladdin and the Genie. Well done.
