Garden Realm

I know a fairy realm

Beneath wisteria blooms

Brushing against the well

Where wishes gleam below

That’s where the fey folk dwell

I know a fairy realm

Where lily pads are boats

Sailing o’er magic springs

Hawthorn twigs for oars and

Petal sails like small wings

I know a fairy realm

Each fey was a garden there

With glowing flowers bright

I simply long to see

That bloom both day and night

I know a fairy realm

I think they know of me

For my garden’s changing

Every passing season

Some mystic plant is growing

I know a fairy realm

My garden’s their realm too

In winter roses bloom

And flowers I can’t name

Scintillate ’neath the moon

Fairy Garden

shared with dVerse

Today I found a fairy realm

It’s almost too small to glimpse

I’ve marked out the country’s borders

Searching the garden’s every inch

From wood porch to coriander

Today I found a fairy realm

Underneath Rosella Purple

Tiny roads through the pumpkin patch
Hidden in the garden leaves

Wee houses made with fennel thatch

Today I found a fairy realm

The navy’s in the lily pond

A palace in the collard greens

With soaring flags of silverwhites

I hope someday I’ll meet the queen!

Today I found a fairy realm

Where tiny markets sell rhubarb seeds

Walnut mugs, and bright blue bonnets

From early morn until the eve

When lamps with dragonflies are lit

Today I found a fairy realm

I just can’t tear myself away

Amid the green there’s so much to see

One question leaves me wondering

When ever shall they find me?




Rosella Purple is a tomato.
Silverwhites are garlic.
