Riddle
(starts 1 February)
Brigid lit a candle near
A dark place in winter, where
The groundhog, drawn by
Light, emerged
Saw a black companion and
Never felt lonely again
In the south, she does this for the
Pagans
And in keystone Pennsylvania
There are black hats borne
On white men
Saint Philip likes the
Older men
Wishes for more color
Signs of spring we know
So by the end of second night
We have all the hints
And spring arrives no doubt
Without our help
And all the shaping of folklore
For the
Right time
Theirs and ours
Is near

Medieval Morning
A bright, open, empty field
Ready for blackbird pins to touch,
Scratch, and leave tracks
That become illumination
This is the riddle:
Write me an answer;
Illustrate your solution,
Please
