MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
Mischievous Puck, adorned with floral jewellery, entices Oberon’s fairies with a heady cup of foolery
Midsummer night; when wine and raucous songs hold sway. Tipsy pixies take to flight, carousing through the Milky Way.
Chasing planets they ride a ghost-pale, sickle moon, then dance and frolic on the stars, till giddy, one by one they swoon.
The new dawn’s light steals gently over waking elves shaking the stardust from their wings on cobwebs, as they groom themselves.
Their staggered flight sprinkles sparkles on fern and flower...
But still, the pixilated Puck is slumbering in his woodland bower.

Thank you for your entry into Odin's Opposition!
Perhaps you’ll rise up, drink from the Well of Wisdom and be crowned the ‘bringer of victory’?
Best of luck in the battle!
