Flora circa 1888 Flora tended her garden petunias, daisies her thrall each planted for their beauty or fragrance they waft over all. She planted bulbs in autumn picked bouquets come early spring in summer hunted for berries, by autumn canned everything. All winter she sat by the fireplace, spread jam on oven fresh bread, inhaled the fragrant rose petals, flourished while others dropped dead. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.109] (20.juni.2021) For

Navigating the shallows Wending her way through shallows, weeping willows caressed her arms as she watched an osprey fish while grey skies promised rain. "I wish." She prayed that harm would never come to roost among the swaying branches, that pain would wait for some other day; her arms felt leaden, her lungs ready to return to clay, the pole hung heavy. As she turned and saw a rainbow, she lifted her face to receive a cleansing, the hole in her heart slowly sealing as a fish broke the surface sending ripples racing towards shoals, and a shimmer of hope her way. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.105] (12.juni.2021) 17 lines with rhymes.

Sit next to the fire, as close as you dare a solstice villanesque Sit next to the fire, as close as you dare as beacons are lit to beckon the dawn. Snuggle with me to dispel the chill air. Don't pout about how this life's so unfair, weighing the yeas and nays, the pros, the cons; just, sit next to the fire, close as you dare. Forget about others who stare and glare. Think only of my shoulder as you yawn. Snuggle with me to dispel the chill air. No matter the mosquitoes, don't be scared. Be happy and joyful; be not withdrawn. Sit next to my fire, as close as you dare, knowing that I'll always take the best care of you, my love, take refuge in my brawn. Snuggle with me to dispel the chill air and to banish the cobwebs of despair. I'll protect your heart, for what's gone is gone. Snuggle with me to dispel the chill air. Sleep next to my fire, as close as you dare. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.99] (22.juni.2021) Prompt: Write a villanelle about the shortest night of the year. 3rd place in
