To be “gone astray” means to be lost or stolen. If you’re hiding the rookie, please do
us all a favor: Summer’s over, let it go so that Southern Hemisphere can have theirs!
First published on September 2021 as
The Lone Indian Summer Rookie and The Fairy #quadrille #dVerse
Today's fluence confuses me my peers, truant where could they be? It was such fun under the sun which roam leads home? Blue disarray compounds the night too cold to sleep while one's astray. Where lingers it? Time to reshift hate to be late. *** ©selma
Alternate recitations by a warm day that hid so well (or are YOU holding it captive?)
and a summer faery whose job is to see that all warm days follow her to Australia.
All but one is missing–one that Faery imagines someone coaxed into their room.
Poor little warm rookie, it can’t stay hidden for much longer as it doesn’t own a coat
and doesn’t know the way back home. Plus, Faery’s toes are freezing.
“What inconvenience,” Faery says, pouting as she pulls an all-nighter, waiting for
the little warm day to return so they can swiftly go.
And for those of us in the northern hemisphere still experiencing summer-like or an
Indian summer, THIS is the reason why: one rookie is hiding somewhere!
This fantasy piece, borne from the photo, WAS crafted for “dVerse’s Quadrille #136:
Let’s Linger for Monday, September 20th. Thanks, Linda and all.”
My recent talk with Robbie about it being
still very hot where she resides prompted me
to repost this public announcement.
