Miscelaneous Poetry by Cody Dickinson

Golden Unicorn

Down by the river,

Beneath the pail moonlight,

We were wonderfully blessed,

With a truly rare sight.

We waited all day,

For the myth to appear,

Our hearts full of hope,

Our minds full of fear.

The hour grew late,

And we started to leave,

Then we saw through the brush,

Something we couldn’t’ believe.

A beautiful creature,

Whose mane was pure white,

And a golden horn on her head,

That seemed to glow in the light.

So cautiously she moved,

Toward the river to drink,

Neither my friend nor I,

Knew what to think.

Her beauty was great,

But gleam filled her eye’s.

And we were much saddened,

When we had to say ‘bye.

We never told one,

What we had seen,

For we knew that others,

Might be quite mean.

In our hearts that day,

A great love was born,

We’ll always remember,

That golden unicorn.
