Jack the Godly

Image


A mysterious Merlin lives in the forest

hermit-like and arcane in habit

preferring dark, moistly shaded

areas hidden from the sun's brilliant rays

for he has secrets not to be divulged

and is shy of recognition much

preferring subtle camouflage to 

become invisible to the vagrant eye

his green hood disguising the purple-green

stripes of a jaunty hidden cape 

discreetly curled over the elegance

of his reproductive organ for

Jack-in-the-Pulpit is not a flasher

but a wickedly modest forest denizen.
