Safe In This Magical Place
Surrounded By Standing Stones
Where The Ancestors Were Laid

In West Kennet, Long Barrow
Drenched In Mystical Moonlight
Safe From The Hunter's Arrow
The Hare Sleeps, A Peaceful Night

Silent Night, Under The Moon
Protecting Stones, Standing Tall
Magic Symbols, Light Flows Down
Makes the Stones A Haven For All

In Long Barrow, White Hare Sleeps
Magical Stones, Deep Mystique

The Caterpillar Knows
Introduction For Ellie Hoovs "Caterpillar" Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Day 8, that you can join in with here: I have decided to do a villanelle based on Alice's encounter with the Caterpillar. However, many of the phrases come from the story but they were not all said by the Caterpillar or Alice, so I could say this is also a Plagiaristic poem, though in a different to my normal Plagiaristic Poetry.

Love, love love it :)
Fantastic writing Mike! Well done! ๐ธ
Only 10 to go! Editorial Note: In the line, "Making This Place Is Safe For All" did you mean to include "is" or is it extraneous?
What a perfect poem to read for quiet time and to instill relaxation. Good job, Mike.
beautiful....
This is a calm and magical poem. It feels peaceful, like a quiet dream under the moon. Great work.
Interesting!!!
