You look,
shall I say . . .
the hue of mildew.
Could it be?
Are you ill?
Cheeks colored as limbs from a tree.
Fresh, grassy, I could say.
Let me get you a bucket . . .
right this way.
Please, to cry is taboo.
Accept chartreuse. 
It becomes you.
Like a dryad,
Or a pixie!
Oh dear.
The faerie has spattered the floor,
I fear she got me,
every bit covered with ichor.
I'll follow her lead,
straight-away verdigris'd.
Blame :iconbattlefairies: I am supposed to be working on my fanfic. But she had to post this contest prompt thingy and it captured my brain. Anyway, this lipogram is the result of her prompt #10. I dunno why my brain took it this direction. Or maybe I do. Oh dear ^_^
