Broken

Left arm broken

Healing slowly

I’ve just got one goal

I want my arm moving again

So I keep trying

One exercise after another

Wincing sharply

I take a deep breath

And keep going

Despite the pain

Knowing that someday

I’ll be whole again

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

The Knight

When the cockatrices fly forth

Or banshees scream in the north

Causing folk to bolt their doors

Against monsters they abhor

’Tis the cue to call the knight

And watch for that armor bright

Riding tantivy to give aid

However she can with her blade
