GOBLIN MARKET By Christina Rossetti

Hello welcome to A Children's Treasury.

Goblin Market

by Christina Rosetti

Please read this poem as a complete line from
Left to Right,

MORNING and evening - Maids heard the goblins cry:

"Come buy our orchard fruits, Come buy, come buy:

Apples and quinces, Lemons and oranges,

Plump unpeck'd cherries- Melons and raspberries,

Bloom-down-cheek'd peaches, Swart-headed mulberries,

This is a very long but wonderful poem from the very beautiful hands of Christina Rossetti. This Book of Poems has just been released in a new book called Goblin Market and other Poems. It is wonderful and I couldn't make this book without putting it on. Diddilydeedot Dreamland in Seligor's Castlemxxx

CHAPTER TWELVE TAYA'S STORY Father to Son Petrak let go of her talons and picking up the mugs he moved from the fireside, his back towards them, shoulders hunched. “Alright then here goes, from the beginning,” Taya said once more. “It began seven hecs ago, not long after it got out that you, Cymric had been killed by the Kraal’s at the Magnam. Salenas moped about for days, finding any excuse to have any young male shard put to death, it was obvious if he didn’t have his son then nobody else was entitled to have their’s either. All in all nearly a hundred young Shard males were put to death but that was before he got it into his head that he wanted another son. This is when the trouble started, Salenas had never taken a wife, his sister Delth has him convinced that there is no need for him to have just one woman, after all, he is the Prince of Thordoy therefore he can have whom ever he wants, when ever he wants.” Taya sighed. “So long of course that they came from the royal blood line, so he then decided to go on a rampage of the royal females. He didn’t search for long. One female, Yamina, a beautiful dragon from an exceptional background caught his eye. He decided that she should be the one to bare his child and the fact that she had already given birth to three sons, made his lust for her even greater.” Taya looked to where Petrak still had his back to the trio. “Are you sure you want me to go on, Petrak?” Petrak nodded his head in silence. Taya shrugged her shoulders and carried on.

It's amazing what you can find when you're looking through old papers.

Very Disposable!

It is thirteen years plus since I scribbled down these words in my poetry book, sometimes over the past thirteen years I have come across it, read it, had a little weep for it happened to two dogs I used to know and I still haven't got over it obviously. Well now that I have the web sites and I reach thousands of people all over the world ever day, I have decided to put it here as my web page for the evening. This beautiful little dog below isn't mine, I don't know who it belongs to , he or she has just been picked at random from thousands on the net. Look at her, she is so happy and so well cared for, so still I ask why oh why do people have animals when they have no love for them? It's a hard life with four legs and a tail. Isn't it?

Very Disposable!

She doesn’t know we know,
she doesn't know we understand,
And here she’s come to take us out,
our leads are in her hand.

The car will be our prison cell for
fifteen minutes or more.
And then it will be over, no more
loving walks along the shore.

Hmmm!
is this the door to heaven,
I do hope its like they say!
At least were going together so
I’ll be with someone on the way.

Wow that needle looks quite painful
I do hope he does me first.
Idon’t really want to watch him die,
Hell! I’ve got an awful thirst.

So tell me Why do people have us,
don't they know the price we pay
We have no say. No reason given,
do we just get in the way?

God I hope this doggie heaven
is the bestest place to be,
Yet I go with pain - not laughter,
cos there are so many more like me.

The Princess Cornflower Diaries.  

 

One of the many story's by Hans Christian

Andersen, this one I have decided
fits well with

the Princess Cornflower and her friends, for all

the
Googlenoks are named after the wild

flowers and grasses, as you may
have already

noticed. There is a new Peppercorn Green story

coming out after I
get back from Canada.

 Little Ida's Flowers

“My
poor flowers are quite dead,” said little Ida, “they were so pretty
yesterday evening, and now all the leaves are hanging down quite
withered. What do they do that for,” she asked, of the student who sat
on the sofa; she liked him very much, he could tell the most amusing
stories,>

This made me smile this morning, what made you smile this morning?

A small quotation found on a blog.
I found it very amusing, made me smile any way .

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit
Understanding is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad

See you later, Seligor. xxx
