LADYFALL ENCHANTS

My tribute to the regal lady with sparkling white hair, from enchanting Marilog.


A regal lady washes
Her crystalline white hair
In a sparkling gem basin;


Her skin supple and clear
Her garment of velvet green decked
With jewels of jade and emeralds


And a string of strawberry rubies.


She welcomes with droplets
Of cool dewdrop kisses
In this wistful, charming land.


Her royal court embellishes
Her beauty with pompous aisles,
Lush fans and showers of golden flakes.


Trees with slithering roots
Were like statuesque snakes
Tamed by her ethereal charms


And her loyal subject, a
red dragonfly landed
on our fingers.
