Widdershins

A midsummer night's dream

“Widdershins”

 

Midsummer’s eve

Get lost with me,

E’er we go wandering

Thru the Green

 

To seek the place

Where branches grow

And waystones keep

A circular row

 

Then we must whisper

Moonspun chants,

And counterclockwise

We must dance

 

Midsummer’s eve

Our flight begins,

Whisked away to

Widdershins

You should get points merely for using the word "widdershins." You have great word choice - no cluttering words - everything in it's place to create a strong image with rhythm as well as prose. This is great - I felt like I was skipping along to Elfland, closer in each stanza, without you forcing it. You lead the reader along instead of pushing... adds to the mystery of the journey.
