Midwinter Night's Dream
Midwinter Night’s Dream

Consider the lot of a fairy -
it’s enough to make anyone wary -
a summer of dancing with flowers,
so carelessly passing the hours.

Less happy the trials of winter,
through cold snaps that crackle and splinter,
the flowers are now become snowflakes,
survival the greatest of headaches.
