Fancy's Flight
A lass named Fancy found herself forlorn,
for in her world, the hues like gray and brown
prevailed, so Fancy wanted to adorn
herself with colors: boredom weighed her down!
Her people shunned bright objects and deplored
the colors’ burst of rainbows in their sky.
However, such rare arches she adored,
so Fancy wished for wings that she might fly. . .
She sat and pondered; then a feathered quill
came drifting down; she wrote, and poetry
sprang forth! With joy, her heart began to fill
as imagery replaced monotony!
Though Fancy wore no wings, she FELT them there;
She realized no longer would she thirst
for beauty, for her words soared through the air.
That flight of fancy came with colors’ burst!
