[hometext] => It is not my fault, I tripped and fell into Bernard's domain ... I kinda like it here
[bodytext] => No fairies, or other creatures, except the author, were harmed in any way during the writing of this tale. The author is recovering nicely ... thanks in part to the wonderful ministrations of the inhabitants of this mystical place, and a few months of intensive counselling. Any resemblence to any persons known or previously unknown is strictly intentional, and was done so with their consent. The author would like to thank Bernard for his permission to recount this story .... I stepped accross a bridge one day That spanned a rather narrow way Once I had reached the othe side I turned 'round, and to my surprise The bridge I had so surely used Was gone, I stood there quite bemused Aloud, I wondered " How could that be ? " And whilst I pondered absently I heard a voice, a friendly sort It came from a man, who was half HORSE ! I stumbled, fell, and struck me head Could not recall a word he said Meant no offence, tried not to stare But to me, you see, he was rather rare For within my travels, I ne'er had heard Of his kind, a single word As I collected scattered thought He noticed I seemed a bit distraught Called he, to friends " Come hither, all ... This poor man just took a fall " I could scarce believe mine eyes When creatures filled the earth and skies Of such fantastical array Confusion reigned o're all surveyed Animals and man were melded Awkward creatures fused and welded Leprechauns and fairy folk Pixies, sprites, and nymphs on oak From childrens tales I do recall Perhaps a few, but nay, not all Vision slowly faded out As all around did hoot and shout Consciousness soon after fled Then I awoke in someone's bed A gentle hand had brushed my face I gave a start, my heart did race Before me stood a woman, quite fair Thanks to the heavens she was "all there" She said "You fell into our yard ... My husband helped you, his name's Bernard." So surely now, it all made sence as I had fallen through Bernard's fences And a lovely visit was had by all, Thanks again Bernard, this was fun !!!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
