Rebirth in Spring
White petals fall swirling to the ground

Blessed be the name of the… Continue reading

Fairytale Limericks
After reading an entire book of Edward Lear’s fantastical limericks, I decided to try writing some myself. Fairytale retellings seemed like a good idea. The frog prince is one of my absolute favorites, but I like Cinderella too.

A sparkling, fleeting jewel,
Hovering ever out of reach.

Pluck it down and suck it dry
Like a leech,
