walking in the woods
i spy
this portal
a little yellow globe
at the top of the opening
maybe
a welcome bell
or
a light
where do you think it leads?

Although it is something natural, I really want it to be a trans-universe portal, or the way into another dimension! So I am sticking with those. 😊
Best wishes, Pete.

Faerie Runnels (a Mariannet)*
Ivor Steven
Brave
A dark cave
Chase the faeries down secret tunnels
Find their hidden runnels
A spring full of magic sparkle
Dare
Be aware
Sip from their fountain of bubbling youth
One nip of ancient truth
Will turn your dreams into nightmares
* The Mariannet is an isosyllabic rhyming poem named after poet Marianne Moore.

Do you think there’a a magic word one would need? Is it for the wee folk? It’s very exciting. I would leave a treat next time I passed so whoever uses the portal will know you’re a friend. :)
