 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. ·······  ······· Love

Hello Lori,
What a wonderful surprise. I haven't been around too much since I have been spending a lot of time with a very sick friend. This is just such lovely cheerful news! I will go and read up about the chapbook deal. Congratulations to all the other winners!

Hi Grace.
 This is such a magical piece, I'm so glad it placed Gold!  With this win your previous Bronze placement last October, your 'discount' is now 60%. There is no expiration date on a chapbook contract too.  This is so fun! Big congrats! ~Cleo

Hi Lori,
Thank you so much for this. I am seriously considering assembling a chapbook to sell with all profits going to a Charity for Brain Injured children. I have a project underway at present on a Chapbook of 60 word stories, to sell for a local Children's Hospice. So as you can see I am pretty busy at the moment!
