Snoozing in a hammock
with birds singing a lullaby
I was gobsmacked
when a mercurial gnome came by
Skipping along the rocks
having just left a rainbow
he tried to get my attention
throwing a rock from below
Producing a jewel
saying it had great power
trying to steal my energy
as much as he could devour
Grabbing his jewel
throwing it in the air
a bird quickly caught it
not willing to share
The gnome was furious
how dare I steal his stone
all power had left him
now he was alone
Picking him up
attaching him to a comet
screaming as he flew away
his aura flared like a rocket
Awake now
observing the night sky
stream reflecting the comet
as it says goodbye

Thank you. Gnomes are popular yard art in gardens here.
