NaPoWriMo Day 14 & The Sunday Whirl - Wordle 51


Legends and Flaws


Come, come -
listen
as I tell the story
about the songs of old.
A story of destiny,
of blood, of sorrows, of addiction
and of the souls broken
by these doomed lovers and haters.

There was a great King,
who united a divided land.
The King’s adviser was a powerful warlock,
who foretold their doom.
The King’s Queen was beloved by all,
who gave her heart to two.
The King’s favourite knight was loyal and true,
who took his duty too far.
The King’s sister was an envious witch,
who begot a son of incest.
The King’s son was a manipulated whelp,
who murdered his father in battle.

These few broken souls -
who loved, lusted, feared, loathed -
almost decimated a nation
due to their flaws -
due to human nature.
