Nursery Rhymes or Stories Poetry Contest

Wondering how fairies obtain dresses? It's because they have fairy seamstresses Sewing with pine needles and spidery Gathered from spiders fine web filigree. Pretty petals for fabric, leaves for shoes Smelling of sweet fragrant floral perfume Flowers to adorn their flowing tresses Crystal star droplets sown into dresses. Gossamer to turn into fairy wings So fairies may fly in sky revelling Sprinkles of fairy dust, a wand for luck When all dressed up, so pretty fairies look. When you find fairies in a fairy glade Recall how their lustrous outfits are made.

Belle, Congratulations on being the poem of the week! You've spun a whimsical symphony with threads of starlight and dewdrops! Your poem dances with the fairies, each line a shimmering petal in their gossamer gowns. Now, I can't help but peek behind every spiderweb, hoping to catch a glimpse of those industrious fairy seamstresses at work. Thank you for this enchanting poem, woven with imagination and pure magic. - Blessings, Daniel

Your comment Tom Woody - (“Are they still using Singers? So passe. Hey didn't you just have a potw? - Weird algorithms.”) - I know what a Singer is, had one many years ago, as for the rest, the mind boggles ~ Belle

What I meant was, you just had a potw on 11/20, less than a month ago. There are thousands of poets here, what are the odds? That's what I meant by weird algorithms. Not to detract from your fine poem

Sweet Belle, in the magical world, fairies are able to flutter from cloud to cloud; and I find that mysterious and captivating, all at the same time. They wear gowns that have been sprinkled in pixie dust, which causes them to drift with elegance and grace. Your thoughts take me to the stars. :) Congratulations my dear friend, on Poem of the Week. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
