Bluebell Woods

Unfolding through the woodlands,
A carpet of bedazzled blue,
Bells summoning the fairies,
To the Springtime review.

They've come to make their magic,
To cast their seasonal spells,
The bluebell's nodding head's,
Beckons that all is well.

The fairies fill bluebell thimbles
And drink ambrosia essence,
Sitting on spotted toadstools
Beneath leaves so luminescent.

If you're walking through woodland,
Don't trample the beautiful bells,
It will bring you such bad luck
To disturb the fairies spells.

Such a pretty scene Elizabeth, which you have painted admirably. The fairies remind me of our imagined nymphs in the back of our secret garden - the only thing is that the flowers are blue bell like but not the ones you are talking about. I guess they will do.

Hello Elizabeth. Wonderful imagery. The bluebells are as magical as Spring itself. You also grace us with peace. Your execution is solid. Well done entirely.
