winter gazed
upon her own reflection
in the river
Foxs’ Wedding
rain in sunlight
bright meadow flowers
before the dark woods
Lace Making
a needle prick
a spot of blood
King James’ wife’s
labor of love
Where?
the red fern grows
in the snow
Arrival
At the sacred spot
you will reach a delicate fence
of frost frozen flowers.
Forest Magic
golden wands
adorned with dewdrop diamonds
tools for casting a spell of beauty
Wisdom
The gnarled tree
holds the history and tells the story
of the woods.
Listen closely.
Nasturtium
Trojan warrior of the flower pot
with shield leaves and blossom helmet.
Slayer of slugs, pepper is your arsenal.
Sunshine Girls
Heads held high
they search the meadow for true love.
William Sweet William where can you be?
After the Dance
Only during the solstice
is the veil between the worlds thin enough to see
where fairies hang their dancing shoes.
