Too long gone...


She heard the wind
a’howling down
the stranger had
come back to town

    she checked the mirror
to find her smile
it hadn’t visited
    in quite a while

but the mirror had cracked
in long ago
she thought of Alice
    and the rabbit, so

she ate a cookie
sang a verse
thought a bit
      it could be worse

at least the door
would fit her key
even it she were
off harmony
she felt her legs
a bit like stilts
so she’d flamenço
a bit off tilt

she’d whirl in gauze
and silken flutters
just long enough
for townfolk to mutter

for she heard the wind
a’howling down
her stranger had
come back to town

YIPPEEEE! Look what the wind blew back onto the blue pages! A special day this is, to see your name here again.
Glad the winds howled at you to spend some time here.
