The Fairy Ring
Lights shine in the wood,
the flicker in the wood,
the wood with the fairy ring.
''No tresspassing''
Bold black words
printed on a plastic sign
nailed to a tree,
a tree in a the wood,
the wood with the fairy ring.
The nails on the sign sit rimmed with rust,
the words begin to fade
but no one dares to wander in the woods,
for they've been warned by the woods,
the woods with the fairy ring.
The sign lies blank,
one nail is gone
but the message still remains
for on moonlite nights
the sign drips with blood
its message crimson and clear
''Stay clear of our wood
so the lights may shine in our wood
let them flicker in our woods,
in our wood with our fairy ring.''
