Fairies That Frolic - Nursery Rhyme

Fairies that frolic among the flowers,
Spread happiness here among the bowers
Leaping through the petals,
Avoiding the nettles
I hear they live in grand golden towers.

Jenna Logan Date: 11/23/2022 12:40:00 PM Poems about fairies and dragons always get my attention. This one is well done, Milt, but were you aware that Eve is accepting more than one limerick? Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 11/23/2022 12:56:00 PM Yep, but I didn't want to write anymore after I spent time on this one. I think she had in mind more than one carrying on the same story or theme. You're good at that, Jenna, so you should knock one out of the ballpark for her book.
