AB AB CACA rhyme scheme.

The sky scatters pixie dust~ across orchards of dragonflies; while in sunflowers, the stars do trust, tracing tales through kohl-lit eyes. A fairy cloaked in soft florals~ fragranced moon-mists and rhinestone rust. But within veins of golden corals, she weaves hope with saffron crust.

You weave a poem out of thin air. So many astounding lines that thrill the soul of poetry. Loved orchards of dragonflies; tracing tales, fragranced moon-mists and rhinestone rust. All so beautiful. Victor

Dear Empress, you prove that even a nursery rhyme can be turned into an exquisite piece of poetry. The very title is capturing. Love the image of 'the fairy cloaked in soft florals' and 'weaving hope with saffron crust'! Beautiful diction. All the best sweet poetess!
