Woodland Secrets Part One
by adewpearl
As I was picking bluebells in the dell, I heard a noise behind the gnarled oak tree, whose branches had been twisted by a spell that to this day is cloaked in mystery. What I then saw I promised not to tell, and won't reveal unless you guarantee you will not share one secret I expose, nor will you my identity disclose. Below the knotted oak's bent limbs I spied a caravan of snails at crawling pace. Upon each shell a fairy sat astride, who rode her sluggish steed with gladsome grace, so she could be a maiden for the bride, a princess slim of form and fair of face. Thus I became an uninvited guest at ceremonies magical and blessed. |

Because this story poem is going to have several verses and because it has taken a few hours to write just the first two, I am going to post this in two (maybe three) parts over the next few days. I appreciate your patience. :-)
