Build A Title

Over in the Garden , Fireblossom gave us a list of words to create a title.  

Today's challenge goes like this: I'm giving you the title, and all you have to do is to write a poem to go with it! 


Here's your title: "The _____  ______ ."


 YOU should see the list!  So here is my title to inspire my poem~

"The Unexpected Gypsy"

Fortune's tea is

steeped in memories of

cotton candy clouds, sea blue soup and

Lemongrass lawn

my Candy Land

 Imagine Nature's Tarot deck 

4 suits

 Hummingbirds, twinkling stars, mushrooms and 

Morning Glories, 

let's tiptoe at midnight 

through the green cathedral 

arching arms allow

Charlotte to spin her night veil

follow midnight dew

see baby rabbits in my

 my snow globe

Listen to night alarm hoot, as 

my hound howls

at orange sliced Harvest Moon Pie

let's burn rosemary for

our mind's eye

Oh, don't trip over Poe

He is my pet toad

he paints polka dots

on earth's canvas.

Let's play I Spy

in the early morn

watch sun wink

join me

as earth's shadows create a new tea 

 my favorite blend

Rooibos with a kiss of Pom and dried apples

sacred brew of 

Mother Nature's gifts.
