Foxglove Faeries

Foxglove faeries flitting freely,
tiny little ethereal sweeties;
picking blossoms to make hats,
faerie boys make themselves spats.

Mice, moths and butterflies,
are there strictly to apprise, 
they're tiny judges of latest styles,
those faerie designs are really wild!

Among the flowers faeries flutter,
flying smoothly as hot butter;
wispy wings transparent be,
lovelier than the dogwood trees.

Fading blossoms made into clothes,
are fitting for the likes of those;
elementals craft some lovely things,
 of colors fit for queens and kings.

If these faeries you ever espy,
say nothing and just pass on by;
disturb them not amid their duties,
just be pleased you glimpsed these cuties.

This poem was just magical and so dainty. When my daughter was little, she loved making fairy houses with tree trunks, mosses, pebbles, tiny leaves, twigs etc.. She read this sweet poem as well and smiled, remembering them. I bet they are secretly friends with dragonflies, do you suppose?

A child after my own heart...I'll bet she had a great time doing that.
