Dancing Fairies Nursery Rhyme

When the sun is bright as day little fairies come out to play. They dance around the fairy pond holding a sparkling fairy wand. I've seen them there many a time. Their song is sung in pantomime. I do not know from where they come or why they suddenly go glum. They don't appear when the weather's bad. I think the dark clouds make them sad. I know they go to sleep at night but return at dawn's first light. If you believe in fairies too, then this is what you should do: sing them a little fairy song and maybe the fairies will dance along. April 20, 2021 This poem is inspired by my sister Nadine's vision.

Oops… I mean A Pollen Puff Wand … but I have fairies in it! It was NOT easy! Hard to capture the rhyme for a child’s ear and a whimsical fantasy. YOU DID BOTH!

This is so fun and I see you won a contest for it! Hurray! I tried a little children’s fairy poem called Fairy Puff Wand. It’s harder than it looks. Rhyme always corners us with words that rhyme. Much harder for me than Free Verse. I think your poem would make a darling Children’s Book. Blessings, Keep well.
