in The Hovel where fairies built nests out of thin air and where my poems are dying within . . . er, I try I’m stuck, looking for the next word which will make the line immortal I think of love ahhh . . . it has too many variables to be stable I stand and I stretch I am weary of sitting here searching for instant metered influence the fairies are about I know this because of the strawberry induced free-verse kisses that is always an extremely calming stimulus now I can pen poems about freight trains whistles and droopy clouds even bad mother-love ©April 28, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

My faeries like to play tricks on me, like hiding my spoon when I set it down to write a line. Gotta love them though, don't really know what I would do without them. I've learned over the years to never neglect them, they hide on me if I do, and that is maddening. Michael |

My Faeries thrive on dust bunnies and sweet creamy coffee. Sometimes they hide that next line in my underwear drawer. Sassy little sprites! ~L |

Thanks Michael and Lori, I guess as mischievous our fairies are, they are eventually there when we need them. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
