Poem by
Annie Rentoul
The little wild Sea Fairies
On flying fishes ride
Across the snowy mountains
And valleys of the tide;
They chase the frothy bubbles,
Tally-ho they call;
And I would follow after,
If I were fairy-small.
They sleep in pinky sea-shells
That sing them hushabye,
And rock among the sea-grass
For fear the Babies cry.
A little silver cradle
Along the shore I found
With not a Fairy in it,
But just a lonely sound.
They flit along the moon-path
Circle hand-in-hand;
I’ve traced their fairy footprints,
So tiny, on the sand;
No little bird or blue crab
Could ever step so light,
But only dancing Fairies
Along the beach at night.
FAERIES AND MUSHROOMS
WHAT’S THE CONNECTION?
WELL, WHEN THE POEM MENTIONS…
…on flying fishes ride…
THIS REMINDS ME …
we also ride
at
flying speeds,
and
even faster
within
our
cars,
so fast
in fact,
our present
supply
of
fuel
may not
keep up
with us for
much longer!
FUNGI
CAN
HELP
as
they can
TURN
ACGRICULTURAL
WASTE
into
USEFUL
FUELS
by
BREAKING IT DOWN
into
sugars,
which then
once
combined with
yeast, makes
a useful
ethanol fuel.
Meanwhile, just so you know, all of the fairy poems
shared were gathered (some written by me) a few years prior
to discovering Paul Stamets and his mushroom work. At the time
I was trying to connect, especially children, to nature with
a bit of fun by incorporating fairies, along with nature activities.
Then, when I discovered Paul Stamets and his work with mushrooms,
I thought in a way, I had discovered a holy grail to many of our environmental
problems, which has always been a core interest of mine.
This influence from Paul Stamets began around 2010 to the present.
However, because of one interview which I thought was not
in his usual style of being straight upfront, in fact, appeared to be
over-acting, I began to question the ground upon which he stood.
The following link I think gives a fair assessment and balance to all
in his regard, so perhaps, in the end, we may not throw out the baby
with the bathwater.
