This poem is the second Ekphrastic piece I wrote from the Geelongs Writers Ekphrastic Workshop that I attended last week, and the attached photo below, is of Gale Jarmyn’s beautiful painting “Leaves in the Sunshine”, which inspired me to write this poem “Droplets of Joy”, and after chatting with her at the official opening of the Art Exhibition, (at which I recited the poem), she kindly allowed me to reproduce my photo of her lovely Painting, here on my Poetry Website.

WHERE HAVE THE FAERIES GONE?

BY IVOR STEVEN/

AUGUST 21, 2023/

    Ivor Steven / Coffee House Writers

    Deep in the enchanted forest
    Under mossy rocks and water-reeds 
    I found an iron-bar door
    Lying over a sinkhole in the creek bed

    I wondered and yelled out
    Eerily, a gentle voice replied
    “Do not worry, we are sheltering here” 
    “Why are you hiding?” I inquired 
    “We are waiting for humanity  
    to stop the carnage on our planet”

    Then, peering up from lower in the chasm
    I witnessed that the small luminous eyes  
    Of Earth’s guardian faeries 
    Were en masse, joyless, and crying

    The Resurrection of Shadows


    You! It’s time to take cover

    Beware! Shadows have changed colour

    And are reaching across the ground

    Crying to the world, “It’s time to turn around”


    Shadows have learned to crawl and walk

    In the daylight, they brawl and talk

    Shadows are tired of being ignored

    And eager to leap off the billboards

    Shadows will ascend to fight the evil warlords

    And liberate the embattled horde
