The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”. You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you. More info can be found in the link below.
Two maidens, quite fair, with the sly of a fox
Take heed when you greet them, too near
Each holds the one which matches her locks
Pick wisely, or else, face a lifetime of drear
She, who holds white, holds the heavens above
Pristine and untouched, by mere mortal hands
She who holds red, holds the demons below
Eyes closed, she drips vile, where she stands
Cloaked as forest foxes, though, easy to tell
Who is who, they still have their ways of hiding
Do you really know, which one you have met?
Think quickly, there is no time for deciding!

I love this fairy tale you’ve told in lovely rhyme! It sounds like it can be a expanded – how did they get these jobs? Are they cursed? Will there be a “happily ever after” if you come across them? Your words open a fantasy!
