The Wet Garden

In the wet garden this morning, I saw a teeny tiny woman made of leaves and herbs, with the orange bloom of a woodland poppy for a hat. When she realized I'd seen her, she hopped behind the slim stem of a trillium. When I bent down to get a better look at what the devil that really was, there was nothing there. -May 11, 2011

This went straight to my FAV list. Jessica, I hope you turn this poem into a children's book.
