Fairy Circle (Pantoum)

by Dark Secrets   Dec 20, 2014


She gracefully glides across the moist grass
you could see it forming to her feets side
a peculiar creature, tall, thin and brass
with a cap on its head, so great and wide

You could see it forming to her feet's side
extending its body high, it awakes
with a cap on its head, so great and wide
its enormous head wobbles, topples and shakes

Extending its body high, it awakes
around its beauteous leader it dances
its enormous head wobbles, topples and shakes
it bows, and to her who freed them it glances

Around its beauteous leader it dances
it halts to her glory and sinks in the soil
it bows, and to her who freed them it glances
allured by her charm, in a circle they coil

It halts to her glory and sinks in the soil
and so it watches as she whirls to the night
allured by her charm, in a circle they coil
as she lights the dark until dawns sight

And so it watches as she whirls to the night
a peculiar creature, tall, thin and brass
as she lights the dark until dawns sight
she gracefully glides across the moist grass
