Fields of grass in spring...
viridescent abundance...
signals winter's end....

Life takes on a vibrant zing,

For we're marching into Spring,

Viridescent splashes seen,

Flowers refresh and leprechauns preen.

Twisting vines and bending branches
Intertwine and wrap around
Hiding lost, forgotten treasures,
Encasing all that's near the ground
Past the viridescent greenery
Creeping twigs that reach and claw,
All that exists will flee as you run
Stuck amid the brush’s maw

Sweet as sugar daisy,
it’s that opening line.
Wild strawberry energy,
it’s that very first couplet.
Fairy tales start with poetry,
a quest for a thousand and one.
The ebb and flow of that journey,
follow along relax and recline 
this is the viridescent princess’s story..

summer dissipates 
viridescent willow wisps
frenzied honeybees

azure sky smiles
gnarly grasshopper singing
creeping violets 

discerning monarch 
damselfly competition
lilac fragrance wafts 

ethereal mist
supercilious confidence 
ushering autumn

melodic bird song 
sizzles saccharine summer
as she floats away...

sowing a melange 
of veined wafers 
viridescent shavings
leaves upon leaves
chaotically neat
layered in tranquillity
for the theatrical show
of first feet
premiere wellies
curtain up at dawn
cue the early walkers
after a night’s forlorn

which unseen hand
spritely close
knitted the forest
cross-stitched floor
taking their time
perfectionist
preparing fallen 
Jenga sticks 
behind the scenes
but never seen
Jack in the Green...

She sit's solemnly in the weed choked garden.
Frightened so frightened.

The colourless sky above, rain trickles down like a slow running waterfall.
Hopeless so hopeless.

She sits up slowly, the pain radiating her entire  frail hull.
Tormented so tormented.

She lay's down haltingly on the wet viridescent grass.
Frightened so frightened.

A light begins to shine, knowing god is with her on this journey
makes her feel enlightened..... she sleeps....
