Down upon the woodland floor
Amongst the toadstools thin and tall
In wistful whispers for you, I call
Seeking your invisible door
Lost, my mind, in your enthral.
I crawl and slither, worm and squirm
Tear my hands on bloody thorns
Scrape my knees on fallen horns.
Why did you leave me? I’m infirm.

I thank you. It flowed from the pen (or I should say, from my fingers on the keys) following its own direction.

Brilliant I’ll accept. But absolutely? No, I’m too modest for that. But honestly, I appreciate and am humbled by the comments I receive here, by you and by others. I’m too old to be a *like-bug*, but it does swell my heart. I thank you.

-Posting a second time because my WordPress app seems to be acting again and comments are not getting posted and this poem is too beautiful to escape notice. 🙂

I received your first comment. My reply remains the same to this. I lower my head in modesty and thank you.

My comment were not appearing on my own site so I thought that that must be the case when I replied to you too. 🙂
And yes, this particular piece is definitely, absolutely beautiful. I think this one is my favorite of the ones I have read from you thus far and one of the best ones I have read in quite some time now. But if words of praise make you feel uncomfortable, than I shall stop. 🙂

It was written tongue-in0cheek. I do not write for praise. But I’m enough the human to enjoy it when it comes my way.

Lovely combination of a gorgeous photo and wonderful words 🙂 I imagine those first few lines could equally refer to the search for the fungi as well as a hidden fairy door.
