EDIT: 18.35 26th June 2017
The winner drawn to receive ROSA is
Today is the start of
a small celebration to honour "... all the so called monsters
and aberrations who are often kinder than the humans in the
stories they bring to life"
"Rosa" the doll that got left behind
The Wolf's Heart
When the Moon is full and overhead
Smart children hide beneath their bed.
The hearts of Mothers fill with dread,
lest the morning shines on newly dead.
For while the Menfolk drink their ale
the Moon, like Death, gleams cold and pale.
A lonely child eats bread that's stale,
And the Werewolves wander in the Dale.
Sometimes *though it is very sad*
They come upon a lass or lad,
Who's circumstances seem so bad
that even for the company of Wolves they are glad.
Whatever happened that cold night
They left no sign of terrified flight.
A flurry of snow, the only sight
that hinted at the poor child's plight.
Now the She-wolf sits to stitch and sew,
And watches as the children grow.
Her "Mother's Heart" is all aglow
...She would never leave a child to die in the snow.
...
So Rosa needs a new home.
She has been stuck here with me ...
waiting ...
for over a year, and this seemed like the perfect
opportunity to put her up for adoption.
If you can find a place in your heart(and home) for little Rosa
just leave a comment and I will randomly select a winner on the 26th :D
The Wolf's Heart is an awesome tale, great literal work Gina. I am the she wolf when it comes to my four pups, the world can be unkind and we must bear our teeth to let the world know we are a force to be reckoned with. Rosa can join my homestead if she likes.

Shall be popping by shortly XXX
DeleteI love your poetic story, and oh, poor poor Rosa. Lucky the she-wolf has a sweet heart.
ReplyDeleteThank you JC....many should feel lucky when touching the heart of the wolf :D XXX
DeleteShe has my beautifully-freakish-long arms! and I love her. And you know how I love your poetry, especially when you go all eerie and dark. This one should be read by a fire, next to the forest, while snow is threatening the nerves.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
That is exactly where I was in my mind XXX
DeleteThis is beautifully haunting and gosh Rosa is just adorable!!❤️
ReplyDeleteThank you Sanaa :D XXX
DeleteJustthe Tale I will add to others I'm collected as I have a new little puddleduchess to quietly influence, Rosa would love to recite your beautiful fable in her wee ear!
ReplyDeletexoDebi
I know that your Puddleduchess will be extremely well guarded by the heart of a she-wolf :D XXX
DeleteLove absolutely this!
ReplyDeleteThank you :D XXX
DeleteYour name was drawn out by Hubby, so if you would like Rosa to come live with you I need your mailing address please :D XXX
DeleteWhat a a wonder this was! Such compassion from those that are feared and shunned! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLuck for many that this she-wolf has a compassionate heart lol :D
DeleteI LOVE this soooooooo much, Gina! The poetry is just my cup of tea. So elegantly sinister and also deeply poignant! ❤ ❤ ❤
ReplyDelete*and subtly ambiguous according to my pup* :D XXX
DeleteA poignant but beautiful piece of writing, Gina! This would make a lovely read (for little people in my life) in those dark autumn days, sitting by the fire. I hope Rosa finds a loving home...xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Khaya...I think I must have been around a campfire many lives ago D XXX
DeleteLove this darkly poetry and the wonderful imagery shining through..beautiful energy and vibe! Super-beautiful doll, Rosa is quite enchanting!
ReplyDeleteLovely to visit your creative world
Victoria
I love the story of this Wolf Mama. I can certainly sympathize much more strongly with her than those that leave their children out in the snow. This might be my favorite story/poem of yours.
ReplyDeleteTruly honoured that you enjoy my words XXX
DeleteI love the poetry that comes along with the creation! Genius!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nicole, I do enjoy creating with a back story :D XXX
DeleteI so enjoy your writings Gina. Love the magic in you <3
ReplyDeleteThank you Friend. I probably would never have become so "prolific" if it wasn't for friends like you to share with XXX
DeleteI and the she wolf wolf are one, while I rather be siping ale (or slurping Shiraz through a straw) in front of a fire on a frosty night, my heart was with the lonely child Rosa, a mother be her wolf or human does not leave her babe to the cold night and if this stray ever comes to Oz she will be warm, and have someone to care for her, tucked in bed with a kiss. Wonderful post Gina (and that's not the Shiraz talking) ;)
ReplyDeleteYour opinion is always welcome...with or without Shiraz :D
DeleteBeautifully written ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you XXX
DeleteShe is so precious!!! I hope I'm not too late to put my name in for Rosa?? Please include me Gina!
ReplyDeleteYour story was amazingly written! You are so talented girl!
Big Hugs!
Lucky you I am running late lol :D
DeleteLOL! Congrats to the winner!
DeleteThanks Gina for including me!
Oh poor Rosa. She is beautiful. I love your poem, and love Mother Wolf with her good heart.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Rosa will have a happy future :D XXX
DeleteThis was absolutely wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour praise is a great honour , Thank you :D XXX
