Notes About The Poem

this children's poem written based upon this image--for online poetry class

FLICKERWING AND THE MOONLIT CAT

Flickerwing the fairy,  
bright as morning dew,  
leapt onto Whiskerwood’s warm, soft back  
and off the two friends flew.

Through silver-shadowed treetops  
they scampered, swift and sly,  
switching petals, stirring giggles  
beneath a velvet sky.

And when the moon grows mellow  
and fireflies rise to chat,  
Flickerwing starts her mischief  
on the back of the moonlit cat.
