I love how carefree you've made her. Giving her a home in this poem, made her feel secure. Us, the reader could feel a sense of security in our lives. Even if it is not so in reality. You've given us a person. A character to live through. I love the fireflies. The idea of them. How it feels like I am also interacting with them, as I read. Love how we get to know more about her, through these words. Witch and dryad. We can imagine her now, without the art piece. Fantastic work Mike, I really enjoyed this one ๐ค โค๏ธ ๐ค ๐๐พ
Beautiful imagery!
Even though a black and white image I can see the colors of her and her land. Good job.
Love the song Fireflies and poetry is wonderful ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ
