Queen of the Willows and the Woods

Queen of the willows, ferns, shadows and moss. Her miniature dragon perched on her lap with pleasure, Both together adding to verdant forest a duo treasure. Unclear to the feral and fey which one is the boss. Lady green velvet in her almost totally backless gown, With cobweb tattoos and powerful bracelets of copper, Curly auburn hair cascading down, a pleasant show stopper. The most formidable beauty for miles around. There is a hush in the forest, the woodland creatures pause. Is it man? Is it human? Is it a slider or a prancer? We all hesitate. It is a tiny garter snake, who has no idea of his almost fate. Luckily these two guardians will not injure anyone without cause. The forest gives them shelter, loving both for their observant skills. They watch over closely the squirrels, raccoons, opossum and fox, These two lovely creatures who never honor any clocks. They tolerate much, but truly do not like any animal that kills.
