Betrayal's Aftermath

The assault comes unexpectedly.
It catches you
...

Want to attract a fairy?
Here is what you have to do.
Make a bit of fairy dust,
With sparkles through and through.
...

If you have a special garden,
Where flowers and herbs abound,
Then take a pinch of fairy dust,
And sprinkle it around.

Gypsy Yearnings

Wanderlust is tucking,
At the gypsy in my soul,
...

If I won the lottery,
I'll tell you what I'd do.
I'd hire myself a gardener,
Maybe even two.
...

The West Wind whispered, "Come away.
There's a sight to see in the woods today."
I followed where the West Wind led,
Past nodding violets, through ferns we sped.
...

If death takes you from me early
And I'm left to journey on,
I know the soul that bides within you
Will transcend your body when it's gone.
...

The Walnut Man

He died in July at the age of 91,
And I did not mourn his passing.

Tea & Worts

The ladies of Lopper,
Convened over tea.
...

It can take away your headache,
And relieve your upset tummy.
It can make your house smell fresher,
And your tea taste extra yummy.
...

A fellow named Mort,
A professor of hort,
Was eating a torte
Of the savory sort,
...

They went to war
At the behest of The Man
Ensconced in an office
Oval and grand
