The Unicorn Poem by Lorraine Margueritte Gasrel Black

Hail the unicorn-
race the wind of your Fancy
fly with the sound of Euphoria's wing
dance to the tune of the Horn.

Think not of the grey-skies
of an older year
And let's hear of the being
named Melody
who dances to the tune of the Horn.

Hail Unicorn-
You've sprinkled sand on the stars
capping the light of Fancy
Dancing to the tune of the Horn.


My poem was written in 1970 and was first published in The Beachplums, East Hampton High School literary magazine Spring of 1970 and is dedicated to the memory of the best English teacher I ever knew: Mrs Barbara Bologna, who recognised talent and encouraged creative developement in all her students.
