Wrinkle

Wrinkle

Wending through time's wrinkle
With a wink and a smile
Warped and slightly askew
Wandering rabbit holes
Winds blow just off-kilter
Wardrobe, witch and lion 
Whimsical fantasies

Dedicated to C.S. Lewis, Madeleine L'Engle and Lewis Carroll

Eve, thank you! It took me awhile to get into the spirit of the Pleiades - the lyrical qualities of the lines. Thank you for your affirmation of my progress! Hugs and prayers! :D
