Leaving Their Shoes Behind

Posted on April 30, 2021 by whimsygizmo

Sunset in Wildling Wood

Posted on April 29, 2021 by whimsygizmo

They gather in their daisy-chain crowns and their mudlucious feetto drink in that golden stone falling.  They clasp hands and stand with faces draped in tangerine glowkissed only by a tower of shine.  They sigh. That feisty moon rises. And the shenanigans begin.

Everything but the Kitchen Sink

Posted on April 28, 2021 by whimsygizmo

I think I’ll start in Wildling Wood, believing in magic and creaky swings.  Here there be dragons, and wander worlds and infinite blanks and daisy chains.  And then (thought caught), I’ll ponder over rum-bled phrase, how many princesses chickens rumpled names it takes to start a revolution (late).Silly goose. We’ll switch giggles … Continue reading →

It’s easy, here in Wildling Wood,where the moon casts her nightly spell. She tells  the sky just how to brew and spill its starry secrets.  The flowers bow and curtsy to the passing breeze, a whimsy’d waltz.  Dragons dance with nymphsand every soul gets a second … Continue reading →
