Savouring Toes and Shiny Knight

Picnic and a blanket fort
Peacocking his building bent
She prepares the mealy banquet

Shoeless in the moment
Twirl on savouring toes
Spontaneous tangos

Falling angels in the
Blanket's wrinkle
Tipping gently bowl

He tames dragon shadows
On a fluttering wall
Her shiny knight tall

Inspired by ABC Wednesday's letter S, Sunday Scribblings' Dragon, the Magpie Tales picture shown above, and Theme Thursday's Wrinkle. Click each to participate and see how these prompts inspired others.

Also inspired by a date a friend of mine had recently where they had a picnic and built a blanket fort. Giggle. Sweet Romance. Love it!

  1. For me, your Magpie brought back memories of my youth, carefree days and nights, when life seemed endless .... and I thank you for that.

    Wonderful Magpie.

  2. considering there is a blanketfort in my sunroom on a regular basis, I can imagine you and your silver knight doing the tango in it. Although, you might have to be on bended knee to fit inside.

  8. From childhood we rise but tents never dissappoint. They endure and so do the memories.

  10. Lovely young imagery and interesting form. A series of 'chapter headings' followed by an explanatory rhyming couplet? Worked a treat for me.
