Come buy, come buy’

“She resides nearby a forest park, with a river running through, 

where she illuminates letters of correspondence in gold, scarlet red, and blue. 

A clock stands in the hallway upon a shelf, whose hands are never still

It chimes for the next delivery of letters, sent by those imprisoned by winter’s chill.”

“Across the storming wood Clara trod 

With hands alive through swirling wisps of fog 

and dim in the landscape behind a screen of birch trees 

stood defiant Diana, and her hunting hounds at ease.”

“Rosa and her lady keep their flowers in a garden enclosed 

On a hillside by a castle, where brown birds and badgers roam 

Stepping through the grass, Rosa’s eyes set upon the approaching sight
Of a silken feathered head, whose eyes are dark and bright.”
