Crimson’s Creative Challenge #46
I know the spirit of that dell
The malicious sprite that therein dwell
Strews the hill with nut and stick
Then loudly laughs when walkers, skidding, come down quick

I thank you, Jen. I’d like to spend more time in these woods; I’ll probably pay a visit soon, since memory tells me there’s a rich crop of fungi here.

You’re so much more adventuresome than I am. Better get those fungi! 😊

I thank you. As I’ve said in another comment, inspired by a couple of tumbles, though not on this hill. I’m getting quite good at going downhill on my back. If it ever becomes an Olympic event, I’ll wind the gold.

Fantastic! Made me chuckle. I love mischievous imps and sprites, unless of course, they are targeting the path I’m about to walk down with their nuts and sticks. 🙂

That sprite has caught me once or twice, though not on that hill, and never any real damage. I’ve come down hills a few times on my back. Mostly I bounce.
