Notes About The Poem

for Christina Bowring (her comment on my limerick "Snow White")

Christina

Once a muse named Christina
who had the wisdom of Athena
	made a suggestion
	sage without question
and I followed into that arena

she recommended that I write
‘bout fairy tale characters with bite
	now there are many
	to choose aplenty
I’ll be writing late into the night

Although Christina does not know it
she's turned me to a kind of poet
	who can be silly
	write willy nilly
and be careful that I don't blow it!

My dear Linda- you have made my day! At last, I’m like a fairy princess. I’m very honoured. What can I say. That’s the first time somebody has written a poem for me. I’ve been chuckling for hours (and hoping not to sound too conceited as it is about me, lots of grins) I’m putting straight to favs so when I’m feeling down and blue, I shall be reading my poem created by you! Hugs and fairytales to you! PS- hmm… now I’m thinking perhaps something later on for Halloween!

Christina just knew you could do the trick - Of writing fairy tales in Limerick - Tales of rags to riches - And would be princesses - With Prince Charming breezing in svelte and slick…… Belle
