Haven of Fables

Hey Again! So for English class (I'm definitely getting ALOT of assignments huh?) we had to write a poem on Fantasy, and since we could write our poems based on fantasy books, I chose a huge fantasy book series that I adore, Fablehaven by Brandon Mull. Here it is!

Haven of Fables

by Me

Far Away, I know a place

where the is not time for manners or grace

Where creatures come out and make schemes

but it's not all as it seems

Fairies claim to be the Queens of Day

Their evil twins, imps, however have nothing to say

Where Dragons and Griffins rule the skies

filling the forest with their cries


Demons locked up in prisons, full of hate

Brownies leave being the things they create

Satyrs sit and secretly watch TV

but Hamadryads are linked to a single tree

Unicorns have never EVER been seen

Centaurs have a horn though, that glosses and gleams

Nacroblix's control the minds of those asleep

while Drumants have been known the crawl and creep

Sirrush's are known to fly, yowl and yap

and an Octobear's tentacles can tightly wrap

Nipsies, though small, are filthy rich

A Stingbulb would make a useful switch

Swamp Hags create false things to lure people in

Be careful what you wish for around a Jinn

Jackalopes are said to be incredibly lucky

being next to a Lich, however, is just plain yucky

Astrids, the owl-humans, are calm and quiet

opposed to Chimeras, who make quite a riot

Viviblix's re-animate the dead, a Zombie Army

While Niads or Water Nymphs are unbelievably smarmy

Dullians have no will, and are under control

The one with an all-seeing eye is a Troll

Dryads are Wood Nymphs and guardians of the Fairy Shrine

When Witched plans are foiled, well, all they do it whine

A Cockatrice will steal a dragon's eggs

Hobgoblins are snake-like creatures with two legs

Fog Giants are powerful, but stupid and slow

The only original golem left is called Hugo

Goblins are tricksters and change their shape

A Karkadann would be hard to escape

Firedrakes are fire-breathing, snakey monsters

The Lamniase is a winged bull among other terrors

Leprechauns and Hermit Trolls stand pretty small

Ogres, on the other hand, are clumsy and tall

Lectoblix's drain the youth of others

Wow, Dwarves sure had hairy mothers!

An Alcetaur is centaur with a moose's body

Harpies though, are totally gaudy

A Lycantrope is another word for werewolves

A Peryton is a flying deer with fangs and sharp hooves

The Revenant guards a magical artifact and radiates fear

Thylacines, also known as Tasmanian Tigers, mysteriously disappear

The Levithan is a sea monster and gatekeeper of Hell

The Milch Cow, Viola, has magical milk, unfortunately not to sell

A Cyclops has only one giant eye

A Kobold's breath will make you cry

A Manticore is a combonation of a lion, man and scorpion's tail

The Sight of a Basalisk is enough to make you wail

An Apparation is a ghost-like image of a person you know

Giants are the largest creatures, but really slow

Pheonix's are re-born from the ashes of which they died

A Whisper Hound is there to guard and seek out those who hide

Roc's are huge, legendary Birds of Prey

A Sphinx has plenty of riddles is you wish to stay

While a Shade is shockingly and scarily undead

The Hydra, a fierce beast, has too many a head

Elves work hard for the Fairy Queen

Wizardry, in this and our world, is like a dream

The Minotaur is a beast, one of a kind

A Phantom will haunt and mess up your mind

Gargoyles are hard, stony and deadly

Sea Serpents do not only exist in story and medley

Shape-Shifters are the equivalent to Harry Potter's Animagi

so that leaves the human race: Kendra, Seth and I

Although this place is very dangerous

but yes, it's truly adventurous

Even though with mysterious and breath-taking creatures;

This is Fablehaven. A Sanctuary for Creatures.

Here's a Blurb of Fablehaven, incase you don't know about the Fablehaven series:

For centuries mystical creatures of all description were gathered into a hidden refuge called Fablehaven to prevent their extinction. The sanctuary survives today as one of the last strongholds of true magic. Enchanting? Absolutely. Exciting? You bet. Safe? Well, actually, quite the opposite. Kendra and her brother, Seth, have no idea that their grandfather is the current caretaker of Fablehaven. Inside the gated woods, ancient laws keep relative order among greedy trolls, mischievous satyrs, plotting witches, spiteful imps, and jealous fairies. However, when the rules get broken -- Seth is a bit too curious and reckless for his own good -- powerful forces of evil are unleashed, and Kendra and her brother face the greatest challenge of their lives. To save their family, Fablehaven, and perhaps even the world, Kendra and Seth must find the courage to do what they fear most.
