Magic In My Garden

Small figures in my garden sat nearby
my bushes of red roses, and one night
when solstice moon bloomed golden in the sky
I viewed from my front window such a sight!

Like magic, my cute figurines became
alive, and I could hear each word they said!
They planned a party, and their first big game
was ring-around-my bunch of rosies red.

The gnomes cooked up some treats! I don’t know how.
The pixies threw some dust on my small tree.
Before my eyes I saw it growing. Wow!
They somehow knew I wanted walnuts badly!

The gnomes in their bright hats said they’d be glad
to oversee its productivity,
but said more flowers needed to be had.
so fairies sprinkled dust nearby my tree.

Then many types of flowers sprang from ground.
The little folks said all the empty spaces
would thrive in sunshine. Then they danced around 
till dawn's light when they froze, grins on their faces!

I'll think of your poem when I look into the face of a garden flower. Loved this one. This is one of the many I've missed. Sorry. Love, daver

Wish this were so, to have little fairies and gnomes make my garden grow.

Delightful and Walt Disney-ish was my mental picture so, you know I enjoyed your poem. And it went so well with Disney music in my head. Seriously. What fun in your frisky poem ... CayCay

How is that walnut tree doing Andrea? I have a huge pecan tree in my yard but the nuts are never any good. A cute write, it made me smile.

It's terribly small and has 28 tiny leaves on about five or six small branches.
