Biddy Bride

We welcome thee, fair Biddy Bride
to bless our homes and fields of gold
on sunwise walks around each well
near clootie-adorned trees of old.

As Gaia sleeps in frost kissed slumber
a fire in her belly sings
soon verdant buds of life will burst
announcing the first fruits of Spring.

The darkest nights are fading now
as dawn’s first blush illumes the sky
and birdsong bids us rise and shine
to welcome thee, our Biddy Bride!

Mist – A Limerick

By Kat Myrman

IMG_6091

The valley is covered in blankets of mist
dew heavy clouds that descend for a tryst
though some find it dreary
who must venture out early
‘Tis heaven on earth…like a soft morning kiss!

Sand Castle

Behind the iron gate she stands
Chateau de Sable, on the shore
memory infused walls of clay
whispering dreamy tales of yore.

Though the gales whip and bluster
Behind the iron gate she stands
Harboring the earthbound specters
who haunt her corridors of sand.

Those who venture for a gander
novice paranormal seekers
behind the iron gate she stands
to delight these wide-eyed peepers.

Spectacled eternal prison
enlightened pilgrims understand
Chateau de Sable holds no light
behind the iron gate she stands.

Death Drop

Drip drop drip
Icy stalactite
Beautiful
Crystalline
Deadly dagger if disturbed
Best viewed from afar.

Mukluks and Parkas – Fresh and Stylish Haiku

By Kat Myrman
IMG_2756

Best place to be in sub-zero weather…bundled in fur! 🙂

Forget about style
when winter’s crisp nip blusters
mukluks and parkas.

The girl had spirit
sashaying about en vogue
second-hand vintage.

The latest gadgets
are all the rage on store shelves
obsolete once home!
