Stuck in bed this year

The pain is too much to bear

Stubbed my mistletoe

As usual, well done with entendre, double or no 😜

Kiss and an arrow

Love and loss so intertwined

Hang outside of time

Baldur died in fear

From a small forgotten plant

Which now sparks romance

I love that you brought the mythology and folklore together, very fitting 🖤

Thanks to your intriguing lines I had to look stuff up about mistletoe before I could even think about writing something about it.

To continue the Baldur theme:

Green swag hanging low

From the arch of Baldur’s gate

Death by innocence

Love the last line! I always feel so bad for Hodr, he had no idea. 😭

Nervous kiss, beneath

mistletoe, but life is cruel

As are spurned lovers

Held in Hodr’s hand

Guided by Loki’s treason;

Baldur’s bane indeed.
