Fairy Towns
No wasps on the
Northern side of the shed
Only poisonous toadstools and
Acorns that creep in
From the South.

North and South – I don’t know if you had this in mind when you wrote your poem but that’s what came to me when I read it. Or maybe I’m just too fanciful, and the Civil War is a leap too far! But that’s the beauty of poetry, it means different things to everyone, doesn’t it? Thank you, Jaya 🙂
Jaya Avendel
I love that poetry ends up meaning different things to everyone! I actually had in mind a hill behind my shed when I wrote this, but the Civil War is a good focal point too!

I feel like I’m left wondering if the acorns are as bad as poisonous toadstools. 🙂
Love your words as always!

I like how you were inspired from the fairy picture to form this poem. Most of us hate wasps, but the poisonous toadstools can do so much damage too. Same with acorns if it is in the way. At this point, it comes down to realizing which side is the greener side. Thanks for sharing!

i would love to visit a Fairy place.
Yours is so essentially huge!
North and South seem to be limitless
Jaya Avendel
Limitless and limiting at the same time. 🙂
