mythic art girl in a tree
- Sky Reading
mythic art girl in a tree
mythic girl in the tree
pressed into the hearts of leaves
and floating in the ferns
the legacy is her seat
she thinks its a ride
the reading flows
with announcements
and knowledge
fancy little art girl
busier than ping-pong
thick as jasmine tea
she burns without pain
a mental excursion
no blood, but stil dangerous
the magical girl
waiting to share books with
her transformational sister
full of surprises
she must be bitten
to change her outlook
girl with a smile
never wasting knowledge
never losing the yen to learn
doesn’t hear the voice of caution
characters collapse
she is disposable
girl without a library card
time to exchange books with friends
cool enough to show her feelings
when she learns that death
is a one-time important thing
can she find it in her soul
to love the wolf, the giant or the witch

Verification wastes my time, and often doesn't work. I am going to stop commenting on pages that require verification one of these days.

This was wonderful! ‘mythic girl in the tree
pressed into the hearts of leaves
and floating in the ferns” was so visual! Awesome!
I love the idea of the collapsing characters.
Very visual and fantastical, enjoyed the poem and style.
Good job! I like transformational sister! Keep at your craft:)
Wow! This one goes in many directions. A magical feel to it! I like it!

you said WOW, and on your own comments you said that WOW is the biggest complement, so ummm what can I say? WOW!!
Smiles…is that you?!
no it’s not. you’d never believe how I cam up with this poem {please ask if you want to know} ultimately, it was rather random.
I like ‘busier than ping pong’ – great phrase!
Enjoyed that read, a well constructed poem.
What an intriguing poem ~ lovely imagery that helps to create a mind-picture of an ephemeral character who is always quite likely to collapse into nothingness on the whim of the artist. Loved it, Tammy đŸ™‚
Interesting poem!
This poem took me to so many places, visually. Simply wonderful.
What a whimsical piece. A lovely read.
fancy little art girl
busier than ping-pong
thick as jasmine tea
excellent description…and “she must be bitten to change her outlook.” hot hot…really like this verse….
amazing piece, love those stunning lines.

Great stuff, quite magical and light yet…there in lies a deepness that knowledge brings. Enjoyable read…loved busier than ping-pong and thick as jasmine tea….great description.
The wolf, the giant or the witch… I love wolves.
A lovely flight of fantasy.
I love wolves too, but here I was symbolically talking about villains in classic children’s stories.
such a magical little tale… I love the imagery đŸ™‚
creatively magical.
đŸ™‚
Wow,takes you in so many directions,just cool!
“mythic girl in the tree
pressed into the hearts of leaves” …
You caught me with these words and kept my attention to the end. How in the world…or how out of this world did you ever think of these flowing stanzas. You have a magical way of thinking…that must be the way !
Thank you,
