Delights : Warnings

A Woodland Fairy ~ A Poem by Lizzy Tomlinson

Deep inside the woods, at night,
Appeared a fairy, bathed in light,
Her grace was magical to see,
As she tiptoed there, beneath the tree,
Just that one night,
I witnessed the sight,
Of a woodland fairy bathed in light.

******************************************

As a child I had a book of collected poems for children and this wonderful poem by Scottish Poet, Lizzy Tomlinson, is one of the poems that I loved so much that I knew it off by heart :)

This long exposure photograph was taken just before sunrise on a cold October morning, Steph T, my model had to try to keep her torso and facial expression totally still, whilst flapping her arms slowly to create the wings...

Dew Drop Diamonds


***
Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire!
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon's sphere;
And I serve the Fairy Queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green;
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours;
In those freckles live their savours;
I must go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.
