Notes About The Poem

111 Picture Prompt contest. Sponsored by eve Roper 02/04/2026

Spellbound

Sweet Cecily sits
to read books by candlelight.
A small fairy flits
much to Cecily's delight!
Imagination takes flight

I saw there was one gap left in the contest but went to do my charity work, when we came back I scribbled the basis of the poem down in a note book in the car and managed to get it tweaked and submitted for the contest - phew! I wont leave it so long next time! hugs jan xx
