All but One Takes

The Full moon

By Amber ZajecPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Dragons take treasure

Sirens take souls

Fairies take buttons

Vampires take blood

Werewolves take grandmothers in red hoods

Pegasus takes flight

Leprechaun takes gold

Cyclops takes memories

Kraken takes ships

Phoenix takes to flame

Giants take a man for their bread

Zombies take your brain

Unicorns take the rainbow

Nymph takes nature

The troll takes the toll for the bridge

Yet the Geni gives three wishes

Takes nothing in return

All but one takes
