L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

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.

Janice Canerdy November 23, 2022 at 1:22 PM Good job on this one, Milton! Janice L Milton Hankins November 23, 2022 at 6:46 PM Thank you so much, Janice. It was fun to write.

Jenna Logan November 23, 2022 at 12:40 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? L Milton Hankins November 23, 2022 at 12:56 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.

Anne-Lise Andresen November 23, 2022 at 12:27 PM - I can see the fairy Belinda and her friends frolicking among the flowers ... yes, they live in grand golden towers ... I know for sure :) - Lovely limerick, Milton - L Milton Hankins November 23, 2022 at 12:57 PM Thanks so much, Sunshine Smile. I really appreciated your comment.
