Let's Make Believe

Dear diary...
Unexpectedly showing up
carved into beautiful wood,
I can't help thinking there
lies the beginning of an
emerging poem.
I found this charmed creation
a mysterious formulated vision
of Wonderland, developed from
mind filled with inspired energy.
Figure appears almost abandoned;
rigid, entwined with rambling ivy;
yet assembled for slithering motion
most strange.
Notable eyes appear dreamlike,
preoccupied with weird and
ethereal, symbolic construction;
allure of make believe.
Photo is my own.

That's lovely Jenny, there's
That's lovely Jenny, there's something magical about coming across the repesentation of a creature in such an unexpected place. You've captured the atmosphere perfectly.
There's a walk I do regularly on the north side of Cirencester where there's a long dead upright tree trunk next to a stile. I went up there one time and somebody had carved it into a sort of totem pole with an eagle like head. Over time, the tree trunk has been covered with ivy, and you can't see the eagle any more, but I love the thought that he's still hidden underneath there, waiting.

Full of intrigue and wonder. That's what nature is all about.
Adventure encapsulated in a lovely poem, Jenny.
