Two poems by Olga Pitcairn

Beyond the realm of gray reality
lies the land of colorful fantasy,
the foundation of which is originality:
the essence—a certain sense of lunacy.

!!—rumors here—whispers there--!!
as a bat does by—perception—
gossip—flies all through the air—
its fragrance a subtle—deception--!!
