The Poem of the King of Winter

The King of Winter had a heart of ice.
He was never good, he was never nice.
Through his hate a blizzard was born.
Everyone in hiding, every human, animal and faun.
It demolished the flowers and it destroyed all the crops.
Somebody had to stop the King of Winter but alas, he couldn’t be stopped.
The Queen of Summer needed to stop his rage!
The King of Winter could end this age.
The humans were sick and plants didn’t grow.
Every house, every plant, everywhere was covered in snow.
So she set off.

The Queen of Summer had had enough.
She defeated henchmen and monster in a slice.
She finally reached the King of Winter’s room of ice.
The Queen was exhausted and she fell on the king.
The Queen wasn’t going to make it, the poor thing.
But then something happened, you wouldn’t know.
The Queen of Summer began to glow.
The king’s heart began to melt.
The King of Winter felt something he never felt.
The king wept over to his newly found love.
That is when Mother Nature, herself appeared above.
She said, “You have had a change in heart and because of that the one you love, I will revive”.
The Queen of Summer’s eyes popped open, she was alive!
When the king turned to Mother Nature to thank her gratefully.
She wasn’t there but in her place was an ice lily.
The king and queen were married and they had children, their names might give a ring.
The king and queen had twins, a boy and a girl named Autumn and Spring.
