So Glad They Are Back

Unusual day There’s a strange scent in the wind, Unfamiliar scent. I feel eyes on me. Carefully hidden from view, I glance at my land. Something is different. A unique smell, a snapped twig. I grow gypsy ears. Survey horizon, Slowly and methodically. I am being watched. The ground is barren. Cold, stiff, and frozen. So February. Tiny glints of light Leads eager eyes to the south. I know it’s an elf. It’s not the first time. In summer I had faeries. Dancing with delight. A relieved smile. I am happy, all-knowing. So glad they are back!

This is a great poem and I had to read twice and get my imagination working. Once working had all sorts of images and also a sense of joy and mischief. So good your poem raised these feelings, thankyou.

These enchanted creatures are all around us but can only be seen with eyes that believe and hearts that feel...You expressed it well in your poem...All the best Caren

Thank you, My Friend. Enchanted is the word I always think of but forget to use. I'm going to try and use it today. I like learning from experts.
