Potent nectar of bright ichor
Traversing his gargantuan tan canvas
Upheld by a lone pinprick
An innocent speck of priority
As strange travelers glide the waves
Laden with cargo from a distant realm
They find abode beside the isle
Determined to remain steadfast
The giant rips up the earth from underfoot
Catapulting sheer rock to ward off guests
Sending them away in the harshest tides
A wicked trick would prove his undoing
A cunning ploy as the bandits returned
Hidden fears come out to play
Their fair witch cast him astray
