The Wishmaker : Vladimir and the Troll

by Savannah Rain

Wish Maker—
Wish Maker
Spin me a tale
Of fairies and roses
Upon cranberry hill
Of dead leaves bursting
Into fi ne white stallions
And forests that grow
From dry desert stones
Weave me a carpet
All whigmaleerie twine
That fl ies as gold dust
Beneath a storm’s sky
Grant me rain torrents
Carrying within each—
Droplet
Such fl awless sand rubies
Cascading into trees
Prompting blooms to fl ower
Into the grandest mistletoe
As posies grow wings
Becoming butterfl ies aloft
And pine branches spread
Graced by wise owls
Singing knowing lullabies
Where the sweetest of lyrics—
Always come true
Wish Maker—
Wish Maker
Spin me a tale
Of fairies and roses
Upon cranberry hill . . .
