Famine to Feast

Far flung savageries had wrought…
The little maiden’s spirit…
Way more than it had ought…

She longed for peace…
To soothe her brain…
To break the corporate chain…

She gathered up her courage thus…
And through the forest fled…
Filled with trepidation…
And a tiny bit of dread…

Sparring branches dark and deep…
She slipped…
She faltered…
But never fell too steep…

At moments…
(When the current rushed…
And water was her breath that gushed)…
The little maiden…
Pondered and wondered...
How her journey was continuing thus…

She had struggled far into the wood…
And darkness was upon the ground…
And there she halted…
Stopped…
And looked around…

“Why did I take this journey?…
Who am I to shine?…
I am cold and I am hungry...
And there is no place here to dine…

I am all

alone…
In these deep and dark cold woods.

Alon

e.”

She sat upon the ground…
In a little maiden heap…
Wishing and hoping…
For just a bit of sleep…

And suddenly a whooshing sound…
Came lightly tattering on the ground…
She lifted up her eyes to see…
The approaching Sonnet Queen…

The air was clear and filled with soul…
The trees knew her fro

m days of old…
She had ventured in this wood…
And the nature of the kingdom…
Knew her to be good…

“Why are you in such a state?…
Don’t you know that you are late?…
We have been waiting…
Yes..
I rather say anticipating…
Your arrival at the Muse’s castle gate.”

The weary little maiden…
Blinked her eyes…
To see the Sonnet Queen…
She was quite surprised…

But the only words she could utter…
Came softly and with a stutter…
“I am cold and I am hungry…
And there is no place here to dine…
Why did I take this journey?…
Who am I to shine?…

I am all alone…
In these deep and dark cold woods…”

Then from the hollows dark and deep…
From those mountains…
She had climbed…
Those mountains…
Oh so steep…
Near the rivers…
With rock beds worn…
Came maidens of every color, shape and form…

For they too had journeyed…
In the woods long ago…
And knew the path to maiden~dom…
In the forest so…

Tenderly they urged her rise…
These maidens of every hue and size…

Walking along side...
They did not chide…
But offered thus…
What was just...

Maidens’ hands…
And maidens’ hearts…
The path they did guide…
And thus the little maiden…
Finally arrived…

Not alone…
No indeed…
And as she passed…
The castle gates…
They saw she was in need…
The maidens all lifted her…
And she was placed…
Upon a steed…

Off to the bountiful banquet…
Went the Queen Sonnet’s brood…
All rejoicing for the little maiden…
As they partook of spiritual food…

Green velvet leaves form a layered forest tablecloth, gold chargers and plates work with plain white china pieces. Roses and feathers…spray painted a high gloss black, serve as unexpected contrasts…nestled in individual settings (soup bowls)…the woodland maidens may now have their feast!

Let the gluing commence!

Not bad, not bad…not for everyone…
But…it is the exact blue you have used elsewhere in the room…

“undone”!
