fingers pause over the keys
whispy white clouds drift by
soft green magnolia daydreams
distract away wee wiggly words
woo them back with gifts
of fiery red phoenix feathers
balls of dancing dandelion fluff
twisted ancient oak tree wands
lure them with magician cloaks
flapping on a griffin’s back
whispering old spoonwood spells
in round tortoise-shell glasses
capture them again and again
with bright lotus flower nets
50,000 twirling points of light
trapped in your spun-sugar bowl
*A short poem inspired by the saying “Spoonwood for Perseverance” on the NaNoWriMo winner certificate. Congratulations to everyone who participated this year.

Lord the imagery you’ve created in my mind with that poem! It’s so beautiful yet so gently. You just gained a new follower… And with that prowess, I’d love to know what you’d think of my piece. It’s nowhere close to your flair, it’s a critic, my first blog.
