Notes About The Poem

Entry for the Nursery Rhymes Poetry Contest Image #3: Sponsored by: Eve Roper 

Heather

Young Heather found a feather
one day in some cold weather;
just there, right there, on the road
landed, where the wind had blowed.

“My wooly hat it’s plain and pink
I’ll put the feather in, I think.”
young Heather thought as she bent down;
"It’ll turn my hat into a crown."

A dove whose feather had mislaid,
observed from window, as this maid,
with feather, turned from awkward girl
to princess, who would make heads swirl!

Precious story line, so like the old nursery rhymes and Aesop's fables - clean and heart-warming unlike some of today's garbage on TV and YouTube. Thanks for sharing and congratulations, Terry.
