Unicorns
The unicorn with the long
white horn
is beautiful and wild.
He gallops accross the
forest green
so quickly that hes seldom
seen.
where peacocks their blue
feathers preen
and strawberries grow wild.
he flees the hunter and the
hounds
Upon black earth his white
hoof pounds.
Over cold mountain streams
he bounds
and comes to a meadow mild.
There, when he kneels to
take his nap
He lays his head in a ladys
lap,
As gently as a child.
~ William Jay Smith
Riddle
in the middle of
the middle of
a middle
grows a horn!
It's a riddle of
a riddle of
a riddle
Who is born
With a little white horse
body
A beard like a goat
A lions tail and hind legs
like a graceful antelope?
A horn that spirals
upwards
from the moddle of his head
which begins in white then
turns black
then finally ends in red?
In the middle of
the middle of
his forehead grows a horn
And the answer
to the riddle is
a wondrous Unicorn!
~Myra Cohn Livingston
The Paint Box
Cobalt and amber and ultramarine
Ivory black and emerald green
What shall I paint to give pleasure to you?
Paint for me somebody utterly new
I have painted you tigers in crimson and
white
The colors were good and you painted alright
I have painted the cook and a camel in blue
And a panther in purple, you painted them
true
Now mix me a color that nobody knows
And paint me a country where nobody goes
And put in it people a little like you
Wathcing the unicorn drinking the dew.
~E.V. Rieu
Unicorn
All that lives of legendry
beauty, magic, mystery
Gentelness and purity
Dwells in me.
I no mate, no kin have known
None may cliam me as his own
One is one and all alone
It must be
Through Their weariness and woe
Men have sometimes seen me go
Felt a wind from eden blow
Suddenly
Though they hunt with spear and horn
Knowing life cannopt be born
If they have no Unicorn
I am free
Though they kill and weep to see
Beauty's symbol ended be
One is one and lives in me
To Eternity
~ Nicholas Gray
The Unicorn
While yet the morning star
Flamed in the sky
A unicorn went mincing by
Whiter by far then blossom of the thorn
His silver horn
Glittered as he danced and pranced
Silver-Pale in the silver pale morn
The folk that saw him ran away
Where he went so gay so fleet
Star like lillies at his feet
Flowered all day
Lillies lillies in a throng
And the wind made for him a song
But he dared not stay
Over-Long
~ Ella Young
Starhorn
Run,Starhorn
Carry fire leaping from your starhorn
Peirce worlds
Cleft suns
Tangle clouds
Shatter time
With your flaming Starhorn
Bring a wish a maidens wish
Head in lap
Eyes soft
Starhorn
~Shirley Rousseau Murphey
Unicorn Love
Beautiful Unicorn
I've loved thee since I was born
For true and lovely is thy Alicorn
I wish you were mine
Without you i'm not fine
My love is strong and true
My Unicorn I love you.
~Rebecca Lee Mohnen
The Land of the Unicorns
I awoke one morning
To a land that was new
Where the clouds were white
and a sky a soft blue
This land was strange
There was nothing I knew
So I sat there on the soft
Green moss
Contemplating what to do
But then
Out of the corner of my eye
I saw a shimer
The light came through the trees
So pure so beautiful
But barely visible through
The thick leaves
It was a pale pale white
And it sparkled like the dawn
peeking up through the night
Then I saw
what had caused the light
It was a peaceful Unicorn
Walking gracefully throught the night
At First i was frightened
But then my fear was no more
The Unicorn came to talk to me
And made me awe all the more
He said, Dear Child
Be Not Afraid
Here in the Land of the Unicorns
We Do Whatever You Bade
While Here be Peaceful and Calm
Let No Troubles Eneter Your Mind
You Are Welcome Here.
I most humbly replied
Thank you kind sir
I will do as you say
Now please,
Let me get on your back
Take me away
he did'nt reply
Only shook his head
Then walked softly off
As I lay down on my soft
Green bed
~Jennifer
The Unicorn Dream
Every night I dream
Silent footfalls in my sleep
Flitting through the risiing mist
I see glimpses of brilliant white
Dream eyes watch me search
Still noiseless figures in the trees
They understand the need
They know its all in vain
Countless times I've tried
Just one glance would be enough
An endless game
The winner no one knows
I command I ask I plead
Nothing seems to work
he doesnt feel my want
as the mists part yet again
I give up and sit
Tears coursing down my cheeks
And he steps out and I finally see
My life, my love, my timeless Unicorn
~Suzy
Untitled
Passing
Sleak Slender
Smooth and swift
Moving behind the trees and beyond
shining glory stopping briefly
Eyes like stars
Blinks
And moves on
Shocked and still
Tranquil
The Unicorn
~Lindsey
The Virgin and The Unicorn
The Unicorn and I are one
He also pauses in amaze
Before some maidens magic gaze
And while he wonders, is undone
On some dear breasts he slumbers deep
And treason slays him in that sleep
Just so have ended my lifes days
So Love and my Lady lay me low
My heart will not survive this blow.
~Unknown Author
Title Unknown
She soars purely white
Safe upon wings of cloud
A star flares magic upon her brow
But her coat is dimmed
Her horn is quenched
Her wings fold away
And she can no longer fly
~ Sarra Kyn
The Lion and the Unicorn
The lion and the unicorn were fighting
for the crown
The lion beat the unicorn all around the
town
Some gave them white bread some gave them
brown
Some gave them plum cake and drummed them
out of town
~Unknown Author
In the Maidens Lap
In the moonlit glade
Peace
A ray of light spotlights
the tranquil Unicorn
Crimson roses woven into it's
pearly silken mane
it stands
Sadness, solitude and infinate wisdom
in his amethist eyes
The delicate silvery white back
ripples
As it moves slowly
Gracefully
Across the glade
It's starlit cloven hooves
Strike the velvety grass
Withou a sound
The pearly white tail
Swishes gently
Back and forth
Back and forth
Tears sparkling in its eyes
It comes and lays down
Lying its head carefully
In the maidens lap
Light radiates
And sparkles on its horn
I weave my fingers
Into his silken mane

Unicorn
I searched for words to describe it
I found that there were none
I tried beauty and joyus
but they didnt fit
So then I tried Unicorn
This creature had beauty and grace
But those words dont really describe it
This creature as lovely as lace
I thought of a name peice by peice
The Uni stands for unique
Special pretty and smart
And what does the corn stand for?
I dont know
it just rymes with horn
Thats all
~Paige
Unicorn
Where have you gone
Have you fled from the madness
Of this world?
Or are you hiding
Waiting
Waiting to reclaim the joy
Of running side by side
With your love?
Standing Nobly
Eyes searching for his mate
Lost to the aberration
Of this world.
A single tear emerges
from his sorrowful eye
He turns
Not looking back
Not wanting to see
with head bowed
He dissapears
~Diana Wilkins
The Unicorns
In mythical legend they stand alone
The most majestic creatures i've ever known
Never sighted they fly high above
Full of passion magic grace and love
A heart of silver precious and pure
No human can touch them, they can be sure
For they have wings which wisk them away
To a far secret land where only they stay
A white mane embedded with tails
Of faries adventures and heroic males
Stories all entrusted to this marvellous
creature
Your thoughts and secrets it will never
feature
A horn which has more meaning then gold
It could never be stolen auctioned or sold
For it is for the one and only unicorn
Its magical gift given when born
A Unicorns death happenes every day
From myths and legends we all stray
Only in old dusty books is this animal alive
Without imagination it will not survive
~kristy McGinley
Unicorns Doubts
I wait
will I always be alone?
The last of my kind?
Are they all dead?
Dead and gone I know
I know
Thought I wish it were not so
Now that none believe
What now?
Do I hide away in secret?
Do I pine to death for my kin?
I greive
But what more can I do?
Hunted into near-extinction
I,
The last of my people
The last of the Unicorns
I feel so
Lost
Magic could take me away
To a world that would appreciate
My strange beauty
But dare I go?
For the last few that DO believe
Could I leave them?
I wait
For answers
For guidance
I wait,
The last of my kind
I wait
Alone.
~Dot Hutchinson
The Last Unicorn
Soft tendrils of a silver mane
Brilliant blue eyes glistning like rian
A touch of the softest of white
a wondrous coat shining so bright
A spiraling horn entwined with gold
a gentle being that shall never grow old
She prances within a moonlit glade
Then among the tiny sprites she lay
The purist of souls this being owns
Always understands never condones
A heart so gentle a love so strong
She is the one who will never go wrong
A creature of hope, a heavenly sight
This beast this pure being of light
She is the one with the golden horn
She is the very last Unicorn
~Krista Knutson
Rest peacfully
In the deep forest
Lying under the trees
Is the dragon who sits in grass to his knees
Also there lies the fairy dwarf and elf
All there to gaze upon her magnificent self
She lies in a patch of sunlight grass
green
And around her, animals they kreen
For she is all knowing, beautiful and wise
And kindness sparkles in the depths of her
eyes
She is the Unicorn
Lovely and fair
As the breeze blows it ruffles her hair
Her fellows of magic gathered beside her
And the fiar young maidens to giude her
She shall conquer the darkness of all who
defy her
And so the sun sets
And then the moonrise
And all is well
As stars shine in here eyes
~ Kara
Dreams
The soft winds blow around the trees
The soft moonlight aglow the land
Sets shadows all upon my hand
And amber glow of twilight peace
Releases me into a place of sunshine bright
And of willow frights
But for all the beauty of thy lands
Nothing more will dazel me
Then to see beyond the hills
Beyond the trees
Beyond the lakes and beyond the thorns
And look into the eyes of a beautiful white
Unicorn
With eyes a shutter and nearly faint
I feel no fear within this embrace
The light glows bright and my fears grow dim
To see the Unicorn come prancing in
Her mane is twirled by the whispering winds
Her tail is feathered by glows a bright
For stepby step I hear no pound
For feet so gracefully never touch the
ground
The sun above the grassy plains
Sets glitters to the golden horn
And eyes of blue shine like stars
The whisper of a horses neigh
Is more that of an angels play
No mortal hands shall embrace
The warmth of love
Of gods own grace
Her coat glows white
As that of a ghostly fright
But no fear do I feel
In this time that fear is pale
Closer and closer oh how she comes
But oh how a touch would fail
Closer she comes and stops at my feet
"Come my dear boy, the time has come to
meet your fate"
She whispers these words so softly in my ear
And I rise to my feet as the words continue
to repeat
"Come my dear boy, the time has come to
meet your fate"
Oh how I wonder what does she mean
Can this be real can this be true
Or is this a dream
A tear in her eyes falls to the ground
"I, am my dear that you had to drown
You were quite brave my boy
To show not a frown"
The Unicorn looks down and gives me a smile
"Come now the time grows near and we
must leave"
Leave I say where to and why
For my life is over am meant to die
No words answered but a smile of serene
Nothing to fear for the light has become
dim.
"Now hurry my friend for we must leave
Times for play are to be put to rest"
And side by side we leave the land
The land of the living the land of the dead
The land of the secret and untold dreads
The soft winds blow around the trees
the soft moonlight aglow the land
Sets shadows all upon my hand
And amber glow of twilight peace
Releases me into a place of sunshine bright
And of willow frights.
~Nicole Walker
Winter Snow
The winter snow
Softly falls
It's silent blanket
Covers all.
Hidden in the white
Many do not see
The myth that
will forever be.
A shining horse
With a single horn
With eyes of deep
Brown that look forlorne.
Mankind has forgotten
What legends are
And a silent tear falls
Like a small star.
Alone is she
The unicorn white
Alone and afraid
Of everlasting night.
~Cerulean Skydragon
My Unicorn Friend
The raindrops had stopped falling on that
cool summers day
The sun was thawing the clouds away
When suddenly from behind the rainbow in a
silvery haze
I stared in awe; couldnt help but gaze.
Something magnificent in gentle flight
Came drifting down like snow in the night
Something magical with eyes shining bright
With a sturdy horn and a mane of pure white.
I gazed at this vision or was it a dream
Was it a Unicorn, could it have been?
A mythial creature we've all heard of
The creature of hope and treu love.
Bringing some hope to my lonely heart
Trying to mend the faith that had fallen
apart
I reached out to touch its beautiful face
Longing to take it in a loving embrace.
The eyes of the Unicorn met mine for a
moment in time
The message was clear the creature was mine
To walk beside me on those long lonely days
To help me understand it's magical ways.
I had found a friend who would always be
near
In times of sorrow, loss and fear
I carry this vision close to my heart
My love for my unicorn will never part.
It will walk beside me till the day
That special someone comes my way
Then my unicorn and I will have to part
The Unicorn will have to find another lonely
heart.
Someone who needs a symbol of hope by
their side
Someone to chase away the evil tide
Someone to bring back faith that is lost
Someone to chase away the frost.
Unicorn please never forget me
When the raindrops stop falling
And the sun thaws the clouds away
Because my Unicorn I might need you someday
To chase sorrow and despair away.
~ Brenda Vermeulen
Silver Swiftness
Silver swiftness
Flies through the sky
Silver shadow
I watch you die.
Hidden from our mortal sight
Only seen through dreams eye
Wary and mindful
Fear turns to shy.
Cool as the full moon's shine
Majesty magic wisdom
Fair as the suns new dawn
Where is your hidden kingdom?
Coat so soft and silky
Silver with a heart of gold
Wings of great magnitude
Ageless young and old.
Wings bold and graceful
Feather's sharp and straight
Great peaceful winds
Calming breathe as they create.
Hooves a deep night black
Silent is their gait
No less power do they lack
Lead you on, meet your fate.
Silver thorn atop your head
It's desired in the hearts of all
The key to your wisdom?
The key to your downfall.
Love for you
Such have I
Cherish wish seek
Search for where your lairs lie.
Warn you of your fate
Save such a beloved life
Stop the arrows to your heart
Or the double edged knife.
But whats done is done
The past gone by
You are there somewhere
And still I serach for where you lairs lie.
Or is all that is left
Is oone with no horn?
Diminished in wisdom
Horse onece Unicorn
~Silver Dagger
Portrait of a Unicorn
It stands by the glistning sparkling pool
Pure white like snow, silken mane cascading
From fine arched crest down velvety slender
neck
The forelock drapes round shining gold horn
Long and slender a delicate spiral
Forelock rests near the eyes
Big brown and gentle
Set in the delicate well defined head
Arabian like high and proud
Slender fine muzzle
Wide nostrils dished face
Ears pricked and small
But just the right size complementing the
head
The creatures pawa sharp deer like slender
hooves
On elegant legs
Powerful swift and strong
Propelling the body
Again like an Arab's
Elegant, well defined
Arched silken tail streaming behind like a
flag
Pure white against a green forest glade.
~ Danielle Higgins
The Unicorn's Maiden
She waits quite and still
Holding golden bridle
In an emerald forest
Aware of the hidden archers
In the brush.
she waits hands tired
Wanting to leave but lo!
A white beauty with golden spiraled horn
Slender hooves tossing mane.
She hesitates pauses feels sorry for
The beautiful white creature then
Makes a decision to ignore the lore
Claiming Unicorns were cruel.
She drops the bridle jumps to her feet
Runs to the Unicorn leaps on its back
So gently, it lets her then races into
The emerald forest
Away from the bewildered archers
In the brush.
The Unicorn's maiden and the Unicorn go
To peaceful freedom
For both are no longer cultured sculptures
But wild beauty of legend told
The unicorn and its maiden.
~Danielle Higgins
Lone Unicorn
I watch the night sky as I wonder
Shall it always be this way?
Am I destined to live in solitude?
The last of my kind
I lie alone in the quiet meadow
I streatch out slowly wearily
Listning to the chirping creatures of the
earth
My horn extends on the ground
I lay my cheek in the dirt
And a small tear rolls down in lonliness.
~Holly
