Faeling-Style Poetry by Ialie

Merit for January 2008

People expect things
A rainbow poem from me
I will not dash hopes

.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.

Rainbows are lovely
So boring to write about
This I will admit

.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.

I am cold this night
This winter left me to mourn
Spring’s passing is too swift

.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.

Gnomes dressed in bright red
Quick run and beg for a gift
Is it solstice time?

.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.

Sunshine running by
Chasing a dark starry night
Always forever

.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.

Snowflakes on your tongue
Briefly cold before they melt
A wet memory

.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.

Lilies and roses
Willows, oaks and maples
Nature’s denizens

.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.

Hunter feel my love
It burns hot for you purely
Perish in its flames

.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.

Ack! Damn cow won’t move
I bumped into it again
Anyone like beef?

.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.

At night owls listen
No one hears their soft descent
Wings a quiet sigh

.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.

Bright moonlight and stag
It’s everything about us
Perhaps all we know
