The waters of Aloria by BeachWanderer

In the mystical realm of Aloria, there is a tale told by all old people, about a secret beach that is supposed to heal all ailments.

Princess Anica, the favourite daughter of the king, heard about it and decided to look for it, so it might cure her from her love sickness.

When she finally reached the shore, she realised that she needed to be "herself". The waves whispered: "You are enough. You don't need anyone." 

Swooosh!

Cherry Tree by Sara

There is a moment

When colorful buds

Peer, half-asleep

Through heavy lids,

And wonder if they have

A few moments more

To rest like weary eyes

Before busy visitors - humming and buzzing

As they fill their pockets with golden pollen treasure -

Arrive.

But the sun is warm.

And the songbird is here - joined by another and another -

Together sounding the alarm that spring has finally come.

So it is time to wake up.

This is just to say by William Carlos Williams (sent in by Lisa)

I have eaten 

the plums

that were in 

the icebox

and which 

you were probably

saving 

for breakfast.

Forgive me 

they were delicious

so sweet

and so cold

If you can't be (sent in by Tuulia)

If you can't be a pine

on the top of the hill,

be a scrub in the valley -

but be the best little scrub

by the side of the rill.

If you can't be a highway

then just be a trail,

if you can't be the sun be a star.

It isn't by size that you win or you fail

be the best of whatever you are!

The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

Es war nur ein Ententeich, ein Stück weit unterhalb des Bauernhofs. Und er war nicht besonders groß. Lettie Hempstock behauptete, es sei ein Ozean, aber ich wusste, das war Quatsch. Sie behauptete, man könne durch ihn in eine andere Welt gelangen. Und was dann geschah, hätte sich eigentlich niemals ereignen dürfen.

It was just a duck pond a little way down from the farm. And it wasn't very big. Lettie Hempstock said it was an ocean, but I knew that was bullshit. She claimed that one could go to another world through it. And what happened next should never have happened.
