I'm back! Well, kind of. I was never really gone, but whatever. I'm here with the new chapter, and because I don't like this one very much, I'm giving you two! Does that almost make up for it?

WARNING: Lack of punctuation, somewhat superfluous repetition and rhymes that are a bit on the shady side.

Claimer: Mine. Except for, perhaps, the image of a "beautiful enchantress."

Beast: Magic

magic caught me unawares
I had not expected it
it surprised and it alarmed
I had not expected it
it was a lady with golden hair
I had not expected it
from a lady with a gentle arm
I had not expected it

magic took me by surprise
I had not expected it
what she appeared to be was a hitch
I had not expected it
if I had only used my eyes
I had not expected it
I would've seen her as she was, a witch
I had not expected it

she told me that she had fixed me
but I don't feel very fixed
I think she really jinxed me
but I feel rather mixed
on the matter of magic
I can say a whole pile
when I think on magic
I can say a whole mile
but I'll never come to a close
I'll never stop and say, "That's the end."
but from my horns to my toes
I know magic is not only pretend

Taw, poor Beastie. I'll understand any unsure feelings you have about this poem. If y'wish, you can just move on and pretend it didn't happen . . . or stare at it like it was a fifty car pile-up. The choice is yours.

By-the-bye, the page breaks seem to be on the fritz, so I had to think fast and use the hyphens instead.
