Sheltering the fey
Pops of purple violets
With dash of yellow
Adorning in quiet ways

Mischievous forest pixies
Prancing in silence
Discover this oak is hollow
Build an...

And in vivid hues, the sea—
Capturing each wave and swell,
Or as perfectly, a tree!

Elfin forest, 
Hiding in Peru,
Waiting for fog drip

Gnarled trunks,
Lichens, ferns, orchids,
Mossy forest's trolls
