Outside of a little town
Inside a teeny-tiny cottage
With flowers all around
Lives a woman of unfixed age
Toothless
Penniless
With her sleek, black cat
They set out the welcome mat
Sweeping it clean with her broom
The blossoms are all in full bloom
Perfumey
Rheumy
With blue eyes grown weak
She knows just what you seek
Over the fire sits a pot of tea
Brewed up fresh daily
Satisfied
Bonafide
Such a kindly soul
Friendship is her only goal
Her words are never harsh
Even though money is sparse
Old crone
Ten stone
Patiently she waits
To tell people their fates
Preparing her quaint home
As the cat sits in the brome

This is so sweet and excellent. What a lovely poem!!
You really have a talent for setting a scene and bringing the reader into a whimsical world with your poetry. As I read this I felt my blood pressure drop and the my stress level come down. It took me back to my childhood when I was sick for weeks and would read my old Childcraft book of poems over and over.
Enjoyed your poem!!❤️
I loved this poem. Was she a witch?? Nicely Done!!
Loved it. So, she is not a witch, but a good old woman?
What a witchy woman! Cute! ☺️
Whether foul or fair, a wee chat is fair fare to spare.
Simplicity is best indeed. Well-said, Sharon.
I want to a cup of tea with this lady ♡
You’re so talented at creating these magical and mythical pieces.
some great rhymes in there. Perfumey-Rheumy, Satisfied-Bonafide. 👏
Another outstanding little poem, MC! ❤️ Haha, I'm always interested in the mystical seers for characters. There's always a lot going on with their power and how they use it. I'd probably stop by Yoona's cottage a lot just to say hi and bask in the magic of the place for a while, lol. :)
Oooo, rheumy was a new word for me. I would go visit just to play with her cat hehehehe. Loved your poem!
P.S. I love your AI art - you are sooooo good at it, I wish you were here to teach me!
JBaz (You) less than a minute ago Ah, cute, funny and a seer that doesn’t abuse her gift
Really fun! Excellent - and DIFFERENT words. Great job!!
That was very cute, just like Yoona. She seems happy and that's all that matters!
