"Once Upon A Witchlight" character toys from the intro rhyme!

+ closeups

In springtime wreathed in parenthood, The prince first found a toy of wood. A doll set; beasts and wild things, But listen close and each one sings. A song of child, owl and bear; A song that calls the spirits there; A song for monsters with much hair!

When summer heat steamed like a kettle, The prince then found a toy of metal. A rocking horse, with ashen mane; Around its neck was draped a chain. It's horn and eyes and nose shoot flame! With mighty hooves, and sturdy frame, No better steed one could proclaim.

He searched from autumn’s harvest throne, The prince then found a toy of bone. Letter blocks, stacked to the sky; When turned to words, could only lie. Deceit known to the hounds of hell Makes for a potent hex or spell; Of souls, of sin, of Shadowfell!

Through winter’s chill, from peak to pass, The prince then found a toy of glass. Marbles spun in measured motion; Like careful thought, or certain notion. Each glinting cat’s eye seeing all, From stars beyond the cosmic sprawl, To inner strength, and mind’s recall!

When season’s stopped, the final day, At last, the prince found halves of clay. He shed a tear; this would not do, His favorite toy was split in two. It stank, and had a horrid face! But in his heart, held special place, Through toil, this crack, he would erase.
