I do not know where the fairies came from.   Sun touched, tree-lined hills rise, lifting their frost-touched leaves. Beneath their boughs, aching with cold, we wait. Fairies form the brightly-colored vanguard. Elves form up to honor, unicorns stand, alert. We wait, hushed to silence, so we don’t miss the first sweet ring of trumpets. Winter’s queen cometh.     Cover art is by Jake at JCaleb Design, and links to 366 Days of Poetry can be found on Books2Read at: https://books2read.com/u/3n2Yv9 .
