Rose and Twinkle Toes

A long, long time ago (it seemed anyway) Rose and her cat Twinkle Toes were dreaming it was a wonderful fairy tale dream of a lovely house. The house was painted a lovely shade of sky blue; (inside too) and rested on top of a high cliff and a huge flower garden grew and a fairy twinkling girl lived there too. Rose and Twinkle Toes played all day long running and jumping with the fairy until it seemed to Rose that they had been in this dream for a very very long time, although a diet of jelly beans was delightful and they loved the little fairy. Rose and Twinkle Toes really did long for home and sleeping in their little attic room under a pink blanket till morning and a new day ... (Oh Twinkle Toes I miss home ! Don't you?) But here in dreamland every day is beautiful and sunny with never a cloud ever so Rose decided to go on a journey (to find home) and with Twinkle Toes following they left the pretty house on the cliff and the garden and fairy far behind. They met many strange and odd creatures that said hello and the scenery was amazing yet there is no place like home (as Dorothy would say). Then a south wind sent them in a twirl. It blew away the blue house the garden (and maybe the fairy) Rose and Twinkle Toes, were tumbling and pages of books flew by and books and Rose held Twinkle Toes to her heart. Then, Rose found herself in her attic room and Twinkle Toes was sleeping on the bed Rose whispered . . . Twinkle be careful what you wish for! __________________________ February 11, 2017 Poetry/Narrative/Rose and Twinkle Toes Copyright Protected, ID 17-874-323-0 All Rights Reserved.
