A Bit of a Once Upon a Time
An offering of story poems. Here we enter into the realm of fantasy, whimsy, and storytelling. An escape into a world where anything is possible and sometimes things aren’t always what they seem. A story land of dark and light. Enjoy your stay!
Shall I tell you a bit of a once upon a time?
A story from another age, when heroes
galloped across the mossy land and
kept their longswords sharp and close at hand.

The most delicate of feet landed like imagination
onto her open face, impossible lacework resting
just for a moment before darting back to the sky.
An oil slick needle piercing the afternoon.
from the poem, Daylily Daydreams
The mountain rose,
shook his foundation,
and greeted the day
with a tip of his
cloud-form hat.
What will you hold
he asked the sunrise.
What will you will
he asked the wind.
from the poem, He Asked the Sunrise
In a forgotten park
at the edge of a city
we’ve all heard of,
a maple tree grows.
At the very top,
closest to the sky,
is a leaf that plans
the coming autumn.
from the poem, The Leaf That Plans the Autumn
