Auntie Swan Tulip's and Granny Thistlewitt's Rhymes, Merries and Have-You-Nots

[TheLittleFaerie]

This is sort of a children's book of fables and nursery rhymes within the universe of the Oz book I'm writing, sorta an Oz equivalent to Mother Goose. Thought I would share some of what I have done


Gone Away to Some Other Place

As light as a Summer breeze, she could move through the air with the greatest of ease, on wings of shimmery silver she would fly as she pleased. She floated on the glimmer of a dream, carrying stories untold, wanders unseen. Geonna they called her, a Goddess she was made, but a guardian by trade. She helped the weak, eased the frightened and guided the lost, she was drawn to the injured and to the broken, for she herself had a wing which was broken. Still she soared through the sky, through the sky so high in a dress of sparkly white and hair as gold as the morning light. One day as she glided happy and free, beneath the clouds and above the trees, it started to rain, and pour it did, it rained and rained and rained some more, 2 or 3 million gallons or maybe 4, thunder clapped, lightning zapped, when it was finally over and the day clear, a rainbow prevailed, but Geonna was no where near. They called out her name, into the blue they called, but alas! No answer came. The Guardian Goddess was gone, gone without a trace, gone far far away to some other place. Now but an echo somehow lost in the years, her story shall thrive whenever the first morning light appears. Some wondered, "was she maybe absorbed by the sky?" Others pondered, "Did she become a cloud? To always watch over us from the high?" And so it was, Geonna the Guardian Goddess was seen no more, at least not for 2 or 3 years, or maybe 4."



Oh Sweet Lezieanna

A girl with untold tales, oh sweet Lezlieanna, waiting behind the cloudy veil, hidden somewhere in that upper loft, hair wild and untamed, eyes so big and soft, peering through the celestial haze, oh how I long to find myself in her warm gaze, in a world beyond the bright blues, a place where only she knew the rules. The horizon her open door, to the lands of beyond she waits on that beautiful shore, "Though your wing is broken, as is your heart, come as you are, we're not that far apart, I promise I'll know you," she beckoned the stranger, "in that dwelling far from danger, flee with me and let us play, like we did that once upon a day. Oh sweet Lezlieanna, the rapturous plans we once made, in that far off place, how I long to hold your hands and to someday see your face."
