A Violtte Poem - Fantasy Land

FANTASY LAND
 A
VIOLTTE POEM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

a land of few hippies',
where live elves' and pixies;
matriarchal fairies,
Irish drummers

where happy and laughter
and joy ever after
fun end to a chapter,
love their summers!

humans come to visit,
all so much fun isn'it
left leaving some credit
we thought runners

you people have many,
care we not of any,
our lives' so friendly,
your could, chummers

our land of plenty
where guys act so genty
adult? yes, so scenty
ladies stunners
~~~~~

Mick, what a wonderful poem and thank you for introducing us to a new form. I am always excited to try something new and this has my head whirling, hopefully I can come up with something worthy for your contest.

Thank you on both counts, I just wish someone from admin would pick up on all the new, and some already established poetry forms I have put up. They attribute them to Poetry Soup on google, albeit under my name, so why not add them to their list?
