What Curse Was This?
The Faerie in the Garden - Poppy's Prompts #9
Gentle fae, what evil was wrought here?
What force would fracture your innocence,
Freezing each feather forever in time,
Leaving sightless eyes, eternally
Watching the crow take to the air
On its still-pliant wings,
Soft smile solidified,
Belying the anguished spirit within?
What black candle was lit?
What mistress of the Tarot
Turned up the black ace
That trapped you thus?

Going through some old photos and came across a suitable subject for Poppy's Prompts September Edition. (I always wanted do something with this one!)
