A riddle in rhyme, in response to Eugi’s weekly prompt, “magic”. What are the Orb, Staff and Crown?
Take the Orb, the Staff, the Crown,
bury them, shallow, in the ground.
Now wait you for the planet’s turn,
for snow to melt, for sun to burn,
then sprinkle on the potent brew,
of blood and bone, manure too.
Then rising from the earth, in time:
the startings of a dinner fine,
a sweet to make a maiden sigh,
and a posy to enchant the eye.

Love the flow and the rhythm and the magic you created!
Thank you! 🙂
You are welcome. 😊
Delightful and lyrical piece, Kate! Thank you for joining in.
Thanks Eugi, I’m really enjoying the stimulus of the weekly prompts, and seeing how other people respond.
