Puffs of fairy breath on skin

Small white flowers prancing

'Tis all I could ever be  

 

Stay clear from fairy’s breath

For these plants can kill

Tis’ what they speak of me

 

Careful what you say, my friend

For words can be taken and twisted

As can your heart of gold

 

Cousins made of midnight bells

Bane of the wolves yellow eyes

And monk hoods swathed in abyss

 

A world of green ferns

And deadly things

Beware that I am twain

 

Careful what you pick my friend

For I am unassuming

Careful what you take my child

For I am hemlock ruin


The author's comments:

Poisons have always been beautifully horrific to me. One could upon a killer of men and never come to know it. But hemlock... that is a fascinating one. How an unassuming plant, white as the purest snow, could destory all who consume it.
