The phrase "Pandora's Toys" had been drifting through my mind for about seven hours before it was brought into realisation, though I cannot see where my inspiration actually came from, I offer it to you now.
Pandora's Toys - 09 Feb 11
Pandora's toys
Kept in a jar
By her bed
Taken out
From time to time
To satisfy
Her curiosity
Winter white
Dancing flakes
Frozen ponds
Streams of ice
Spring green
Leaves flutter
Streams flow
Birds sing
Summer gold
Corn dances
Water warm
Sun plays on the sea
Autumn bronze
Time slows
Dreams form
Watched in fire
Pandora plays with her toys
Lets them flow
Around her...through her
Gives them form
Watches them dance
Before she places them
Gently back
For another time
Sometimes poems form without any reason, other than Muse giving me a gentle prod to let them be born.
