The Fairy And The Ogre
By Amy Serhienko
They’re an unlikely pair,
The fairy and the ogre.
She is delicate and fragile,
Wings of gossamer
Fluttering wildly.
He is hulking and inelegant,
Outsized limbs of iron
Forceful and self-conscious.
But her tiny hands smooth his furrowed brow,
Her silken voice his tonic.
And he gathers her close, her shelter,
His giant blue eyes her anchor.
