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. SECOND PLACE WINNER Written November 23, 2022 Submitted to "Children's Limericks" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Eve Roper

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?

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.
