Poem Title:
Poem
We never knew She-Fee really. She was our cousin, but She was banished practically the first time my parents saw her. Strange my father pronounced almost immediately. My mother was horrified by her command of adults. We were drawn to She-Fee for she was full of clever silliness. She had a monarch on her cheek and a dragonfly followed her. They are afraid of me, she told us, pointing to our aunt and uncle. I call them 'Will Do Anything' and "Glad I Am Stupid'. We were amazed. We had never seen Uncle Will speechless. He laughed maniacally, because I think he was nervous. Aunt Gladys ran off crying. Which is how assertive our cousin is. It was our first visit with her, a two-day trip we never made again. She was six-years-old at the time, completely in charge of them. They were her easily manipulated minions, not her gatekeepers. We had a lovely day or two watching her order them about. The next time I saw her, was at their funeral. She came out of the forest to watch us but not really. She wore a giant rose bud teacup on her head, hiding her eyes. Deer and a squirrel followed her. I was delighted, remembering her. She waved without lifting the cup, Then went back into the forest. Obviously, she had new subjects to command.
