Mother Mushroom And Her Children

From The Enchanted Booklet

'Mother Mushroom with her Children' by Polish Art Nouveau painter Edward Okun (1872-1945)

Introduction

I follow The Enchanted Booklet on Facebook and often use the images that they share as inspiration for stories.

I can't think of a story to go with this, but it has an almost pagan magical pull.

I was going to just say how wonderful it was, then I thought I could do an ekphrastic villanelle.

The music is "Mushroom Queen" by Kinsley August. While it is not perfect for this poem, it is still a very good song, and the title fits.
