Wednesday's Verse - Where Do You Live?
This week’s verse moves from an urban fantasy piece about a pixie's whose trick turns sour to an experimental poem about a chance meeting. It is taken from 366 Days of Poetry, a
collection of mixed-genre poetry released in 2016.

Where Do You Live?
“Do you live in the hills?” he
said, he did.
“Do you live way up there in
the rocks?”
“I live in the hills,” I
replied, I did,
“safe in the rocks in the
hills.”
“Will you show me where?” he
said, he did,
“so that I may come calling
there?”
“Why don’t I come see you,” I
carefully replied,
“in your home in the valley
below?”
“But it is a long way, from
your hills and your rocks,” he said, he did, he said,
“and we are both here, by the
stream, with our socks.”
I took my washing and fled.

You can find the first two poetry
collections at the links below - although there are plans to reissue them with
more genre-appropriate covers in the future. The third collection will be
released later in the year.
