Smidgen

Something’s in the kitchen
A little bit of this and a little bit of that
Fragrant and inviting
A splash of this and a dash of that
Honeyed and sweet
A pinch of this and a smidgen of that
Makes everything come out right

Fairytale

Within the tower,
Imprisoned.
Counting each hour,
Sits the monarch
Bespelled.
Waiting for a spark,
Dreaming of rescue,
Wishing on fallen stars
For a daring coup.
Aid finally calls,
Shattering spells.
Returned to his halls,
The monarch bestows
Honors on her,
His valiant knight.

Glossy Wind

The glossy wind bustles
Elbowing sleepy clouds away
Until the sky smears blue
Then plunging downwards
Jostling summer leaves
Breezing past piqued foliage
For a novel look below
At shaded creamy pages
Inked with bewitching phrases
Resting just a spell
Rustling between the covers
