A crystal palace
Surrounded by the sea,
windward, starward
Without flower or tree.
Light refracted into rainbows.
She dreamed of beauty
Wrapped in downy blankets.
Origins a mystery.
Finally safe and alone,
No one to harm or disturb her
She wandered through crystal halls.
Ocean waves did not perturb her.
Used with kind permission of Tracy at Wanderlust
Blue Bella wakes late,
Sun already high.
Today is the date
To dance in the sky.
Frost fairies come
From far and wide,
Beating a copper drum,
Dancing a silvery glide.
Devan comes alone
Sad in his heart,
So far from home,
Bringing his frost art.
A look that never goes out of style: the classic sunset.
Each tree takes her time dressing,
Wrapping herself in an ermine stole for a winter fete,
Mother Nature extends each a blessing.
Oh, silly us, we once met a fungus that was simply humongous.
Feeling bilious, we returned home telling tales of delicious bling-bling-gus.
Another day, not far from home, we were quite alone; we chanced to see
Proof that no gargantuan fungus ever would be aloof from my friend or me.
Lest you fear that the last humongous fungus had done for us
We’re pleased to confide (nothing to hide) another rippling dalrymple soon stunned us.
