pond nymphs skate soft chord ripples
fireflys flash dance
lily pad tables for two
Catfish play hooky from school...

women
fruitful, soft
intoxicating, inviting, confusing
nymphs, queens, kings, bruts
embracing, overbearing, alluring
strong, brave
men...

Wood nymphs flittering;
All faerie wood emblazon;
Day lends length to night,
Impish pumpkins flicker winks;
As cats creep shadowed black....

Dancing nymphs of winter’s soul

All burned, charred death
Everywhere, forever gone
Hello I joke, killed lovers
Men, nymphs
Old powers quarrel
Rest, still
Telling urgently
Venus wanes xenon
 Yearly….Zeus...

Smiling mermaids bathe
As love struck nymphs and fairies 
On the backs of fish
Course around the moonlit pond 
Watched by crooning frogs and toads

Spritely wood nymphs dance
darting and dashing away
weaving their magic
nature's nurturing angels
who sing heavenly
captivating their world with
a symphony of splendor.

We need more turkey over here
Together with noggins of beer
A lady bare
Would stir the air
With nymphs who are pure and sincere!

Strumming the guitar in the softest ways possible
Sheila brought forth an ethereal melody of her own
So gorgeously fingered, that it brought in the fey
Brownies, faeries, elves and nymphs stayed to listen...

Ever heard of Aloe Vera Oil Shampoo, my friends?
Not since the Napoleonic Wars were nearing an end
It's been around since
Pretty young nymphs 
Danced playfully around fountains in their Depends...

On
lucent
gossamer
wings fulgent in
my precious garden
nymphs spin golden trumpets
welcoming spring. Gentian bells
sway blithely beneath  jubilant
incantations arousing cupids
ardent desire blossoming cherry pink....

woeful wanting world wages war,
wait, woodland wakens, wondrous wind instruments,
wafting whimsically,
wood nymphs waltz,
whooping cranes whish wherever,
woodpeckers woolgathering,
woebegone withers,
worldwide peace...

Once, wild herds of elephants blew trumpets
as spiced tea and jam slathered crumpets 
brightly declared the sun would shine soon,
snapping the spell of a thin crescent moon. 
Like a child's prayer, out flowed golden hair, 
turning nymphs to butterflies everywhere.

Rays of stray sunlight
 Part your auburn hair
 As you walk in the cornfield,
 Breathing breath as fresh

 As the strawberries
 That grow in the far patch
 Hard and red as nipples
 To suckle fat nymphs that

 Push past twisted tendrils
 And linger beneath watermelon
 Leaves at eventide...

Wood nymph was wearing flowers in her hair.
Her eyes were oozing kindness.
She sat still, not speaking.
The animals came to her.

a mouse
two squirrels
three chickadees
a deer

They sensed her love for them
a rabbit hopped by
feeling her wholesomeness
none were fearful, even a tiny bit....

Night and day cast their spell
        Natural aura blooms
                  Nectar pours from heavens
                  Nourishing yearning souls
         New scenes paint each moment
          Newts frolic in ponds as
          Nymphs watch over fondly

Let us immigrate like birds
Looking for homeland
You are a woman
But you are not as all women
You are the homeland
You are a woman from among
 Women of the world
 The world …where is the world? 
The world is a cave.full of nymphs
And you are the nymph of this world
I will write about you
Till I make you a saint......

Raindrops 
fall like nymphs
darting and dodging
twittering
elfin echoes
in camouflage
dancing 
on my face
skating 
on my fingernails
like frozen ponds
glistening
in a flurry 
of winged petals
balancing 
on my eyelashes
like liquid orchids
poised
to flower
their laughter
muffled berries
yet to blossom
