At night I glide with silent wings
O’er fairie rings
My vision clear
Heart pure, no fear
Perched in oak, in a moonlit glen
Frogs tango when
Rabbits thump time
And toads drink wine
Parties a privileged few see
Only in dreams
A hidden world
Where magic swirls

Poetry Prompts:
In the shadows, did you ever secretly wish you were someone else, either as a child or an adult? Free write for ten minutes asking yourself that question and see where it leads, dive into the darkness. Take pieces from that and create a poem.
Suggested Poetry Type: Minute Poetry
Word Prompts:
child’s mind
what waits in the darkness
fantasy world
what is real
This is wonderful, Li. You used the poetic form so well!

You know I hadn’t articulated this before, but it has bounced around my head for a long while without being pinned down. Using that 10 minutes to free write is an effective technique. Yes, minute poem is a good form. Question: Are you kryptic13? You don’t have to answer.

I haven’t done any freewriting in awhile…it’s a good technique.
Well, I can definitely be hard to understand. Even to myself (or maybe especially)

Most times I think I understand what you’re saying, or maybe it’s an illusion 😉 I enjoy what you write and I’m certain of that.
