Once Upon A Time
There was a girl who told herself
stories. She was always alone
in them, happily lost in the woods.
No bear or wolf ever threatened her.
The pine trees spread their branches
over her, protected her from the rain.
The rain crow and the hermit thrush
lullabied her to sleep.

I love how you break these lines. It’s an impactful poem
this girl has led a charmed life
What a delight of a poem. Masterful line breaks. So good to see you here again, Gwyneth!
