I've been writing poetry all my life. In recent years, my focus has been on herbs and fairies in the garden. In 1993, I began writing and publishing Herb Gatherings, The Newsletter For The Thymes, which was in publication for seven years with subscribers all over the US and in 14 foreign countries. For many years I maintained a website of fairy and herb delights, including recipes, poems, garden and craft ideas and a charming fairy blog. It has since been discontinued. I also have an 'X' (formerly Twitter) account where I post as Clarayafaya.
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.
