The world has clothed itself in misted grey
as each damp day mimics the one before.
All memories of warmth and sun recede
into the mists of imagination.
But crystal rain beads line each graceful leaf,
as though the plant had decked itself with gems,
before attending some illustrious
gathering, a high society ball
to be held in a fairy-dream garden...
There, diamond studded spider's webs are strung
to light, in place of cut glass chandeliers,
the mossy dance floor. Woodland elves and sprites
will make full use of this bosky ballroom
while Lady Moon looks on and smiles, content.
Others flights of fancy may be found in this garden, too!
Even tho bout a winters day had a feeling on warmth

Very lovely lines and images conjured up here.
ReplyDeleteThe actual weather puzzles me as we have had the most wonderful weather this month apart from two or three rainy days. No flooding here either, thank goodness.

ReplyDeleteyes, yes... just where I am these days too. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed this one because I live in the Sonora Desert where dry is the word of the day, week, year; although we had a wonderful monsoon season this summer. Mist, fog, damp... rarities for me.
