Lena Townsend Poet Ekphrasis

Somewhere Beyond the Poplars

Somewhere beyond the Poplars
A world that is unseen
Full of enchantment
Desire and mystery

Towering to the heavens
These guards stand and wait
Hiding the magic fairies
With all their style and grace

Just beyond the borders
Unicorns and elves
Feed upon the berries
While building wishing wells

Just beyond the Poplars
There is so much to share
Use your imagination
And I will take you there





Paul Cézanne. Poplar Trees. 
c. 1879-1882.
