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.


A frosty forest, tells the tale
Of a knight, a man so brave
Thought he slayed the dragon
And left him in his cave

But little did he know
A dragon never rests
He waits for his revenge
Never settles second best

Mighty steed, across the bridge
They trod, through the snow
A banner, waving victory
While beast is down below

Good thing for the knight
The bridge was rather steep
He made it past the creature
Who was laying, fast asleep

This isn’t where the story ends
Perhaps, another tale, my friends

In my hands I hold the key, a golden wand to set me free

Swirl, the winds about me, fly, watch as magic awakens, by

Sounds from my voice, subdued, I must set the perfect mood

Allow the spirits to commune, I can feel them, coming soon

I cannot rush this, I must wait, else, this magic seals my fate

Swirl, the winds about me, fly, watch as magic awakens, nigh

No longer in my hands, the key, my spirit flies, at last, I’m free

Friday Fantasy ~ Bring the Light – #poetry #fairies

Sunlight sparkles through the trees

Fairy dust flies, with mysteries

Released to the wind by her hand

Gisela lets them go, unplanned

Wanting to keep them for herself

She knew better, this little elf

Saying goodbye, she blew a kiss

With her one last final wish

May they return to her, some day

And bring the light, again, her way

Friday Fantasy ~ Where Eternity Rests – #poetry #spirits

Lost spirits, dancing, in midair flight,
No shadows cast, beneath the light

Of a street lamp, in the dewy mist,
Lingering softly, like a sweetened kiss

Stuck in limbo, they forage the Earth
Longing, praying, for their own rebirth

Though nothing here, is worth the tally,
Too many have gathered, in the alley

Harrowing screams, and chilling groans
Covered in dirt, these skeletal bones

They hope for more, but circumstances
Just don’t allow them, second chances

So hover they must, no place to land
Their presence, no longer in demand

Forced to move on, to find their place
Where eternity rests, without a trace

She dances, as the full moon shines

Prima ballerina, is one, with the light

Her costume, flows in glistening lines

She is the maiden, of the lunar night

Stars awakening, to watch her grace

Blinking, and twinkling, above her

They are an audience, taking their place

Applauding her moves, how they love her

Each night, she dances her way back

To the circle, in the sky, she adores

Until the circle starts to fade, go black

Tis then, she draws the curtain, once more
