Pied Piper
heard him play his flute last night
calling to the children to dance
on the moors in a sliver of moonlight
his song floated across the valley
where the lillies do grow
in hypnotizing reedy monotone
rats litter the streets
far too many for a cats feast
floating on the wind like a song
from a lark
the minstrel holds the magic in his tune
listen closely child you'll be dancing
for him very soon
calling to the children to dance

in hypnotizing reedy monotone
rats litter the streets
far too many for a cats feast
floating on the wind like a song
from a lark
the minstrel holds the magic in his tune
listen closely child you'll be dancing
for him very soon

Author's Note
The Pied Piper of Hamlin always was quite a chilling story I found that the Brothers Grimm penned...he was there to rid the town of rat true, but after the foolish mayor denied his bounty...he used his magic to enthrall all of the children of the village...now to me that sounds like a kidnapper

This poem makes me think of chitty chitty bang bang with the hidden cage for the children, the child catcher scared me half to death so how am I going to sleep now 😱 very much enjoyed your poem and the atmosphere it create with the reader
