A Dragon in the Garden
inspired by the creativity of Scott G.
He has a garden.
It’s the mirror of his dreams.
Elves wonder there,
and a human harpist, singing.
There is a Good Presence
in the trees.
Then the Dark Mage comes
with a book of spells in his hand
and pronounces the twisted rune-words
over the severed head of the Dragon,
whispering, “What have they done
to you, my beloved?”
The whole earth shudders.
The severed head opens its eyes.
A Thief in the Mirror
inspired by creativity of Abigail H.
She has a covered mirror.
When she dares to uncover it,
it’s the doorway to another world.
A thief is there
where her reflection should be,
staring back at her.
He’s all in black and white,
but he’s fascinated by her color.
