Lost Moments
Lost moments: Magic has vanished, Your jaded Skies faded Along with that smile you wear, Flower in your hair.

All the while we humble lugworms, the […]
Wish in a Box
Cardboard box, Small and silver-grey, Base and lid, Ribbon-tied In burgundy – when shaken, There’s a rattle from inside. Held within, A globule of glass, Cold to touch, Copperish, Farewell gift from a pupil: An inscribed talisman wish. © Kim M. Russell, 2016 My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Tale Weaver # 88 Talisman, October 6, 2016 Today […]
