The swans
Inside a hidden cave
there is a sacred pool
and fluctuating on it
a magical lotus flower .
Two swans, one black
and one white
defy each other
in an eternal contest
as to who will be the first
to reach the enchanted flower.

Færie Raiment
Periodically
a swarm of yellow
moonflowers
will overcome the
countryside
during a full moon
færie maidens
then gather the blossoms
to dye a yarn
that at delivery will
add mystery
and enlightenment
and imbue beauty
to stave off dark times
to garments
woven from their looms

Fancy...
Fancy a wiggly rainforest
with the fronds of the trees
dancing raphsodically to the tune
of the wind...
Now imagine a sanctuary,
a silent and sacred abode of green
a feat of crooked and straight vegetation
closely entwined
Nothing is fickle there.

Verging Through an Imagined English Garden
A sundial marked the path
pointed the way
through a labyrinth -
a journey littered with
blossoms from delightsome
Yoshino cherry trees
a flutter of butterflies
cheered me on through
hedges of manicured privets
... ahead before me a display
of fantastic statuary works
and ornamental fountains in
a landscape of lime trees,
oaks, and endless roses
settled amongst bird song,
baby's tears, and lady ferns
... and even more flowers
of every conceivable color
ah, the headiness of sweet
fragrances mixed with
petrichor after a light rain
this timeless verging
through an imagined English
garden in joyful reverie

Enjoyed this walk through an English garden.
Unrequited cherries doesn't make so much sense, I would use unrequited with certain feelings as unrequited love, meaning a love that's not corresponded. How does that apply to the cherries? I would change the adjective : unexpected, undesired, etc.

You're right... L7 & L8 will get a rewrite. DONE
Looking forward to your offering :)

The poem is very much improved, as the cherries are now coherent with the rest of the poem! :)
Thank you! Added 3-lines to start S4 in the same spirit :)

Yes, I noticed those improvements too!
Next: balance, enchantment, crucible, beehive, vacancy, surety
Sorry for taking so long. Some rush in these days before Christmas: dance presentation, lunch with gymnastic people, etc! Up now things will be calmer.
The Crucible
Well, I was looking
for a vacancy in
The Crucible,
the famous beehive
and dream of
every young
aspiring girl..
Oh the enchantment
of its numerous
cells of honey,
its comfy
waxen rooms,
the friendly hum
of working people,
and the surety
of belonging
to the best
honey factory ever.
Would I pass the test?

Wonderful poem!

a maiden in færieland
An astrophysical gnome gazed into the heavens one day
and observed a meteor on course to hit near home to his dismay
by dawn even with the use of the unaided eye the meteor came into view
and færieland's tides became affected in the big blue
its size perturbed (just slightly) even færieland's orbit
and each and everyone thought that the meteor would hit
but one enterprising færie maiden took matters into her own hands
and started an incantation in the lush meadowlands
with her færie wand extended seeking to avoid the tragic
and lo! a dystopian age was averted by the use of færie magic
