The Queen of Fey
Why would an Elven Queen give sigh?
In fairy and sob, and nymph's low cry,
they will tell you they're dark plight.
You see, the Queen of the Fey has died tonight.
Greatest battle that shook the Earth,
to give this world a fight for worth.
The death toll laid in astounding girth,
though the war was won in joyous mirth.
But the world is changing, I feel the moves.
This epoch passes, and now it proves
that though the war was won, time behooves
something of Creation's soul has gone; removed.
The ages break, now embittered
when magic fails, now dead and frittered.
a desolate truth that came to light
when the Queen of the Fey died tonight.
In her wake, most sorry to see,
the lasting bales of tragedy.
Atlantis gone, buried at sea,
sunk forever, her tales to sleep.
Even thunder heard at the Pantholon,
where cries had came from Titan spawn.
In one morning, aye, at the brink of dawn,
Mighty Olympus crumbled, then was gone.
Hark, a pixie cries; it is known.
A heart-sought loss to fairy thrown.
The passing of a time, of a glorious Sprite...
The Queen of the Fey has died tonight.

Very nice piece
Is the mention of Olympus and Atlantis
a metaphor or did they crumble during this war
they spoke of.
Minstrel Ayreon Says:
Pretty good...you have the meter and rhyme down nicely. A few typos, though:
In the third line you say "they're" instead of "their." "They're" is the contraction for "they are," whereas "their" is the possessive. Do also remember to keep "it's" (it is) and "its" (belonging to it) separated.
I'm also a little confused by what you meant with "time behooves."
