The Castle's Mysteries Nursery Rhyme

                      


                                   Once upon a golden day
  
                          Three precious children worked away

                               With tiny bricks of Legos they

                                         Built a castle,

                                  Where toys could stay

                       

                                  This wasn't competition,

                                The children worked as one

                            And oh, the glorious joy and glee,
                         
                                    Their Lego Castle done!

                           
                            "There's room enough for Barbie!"

                             "There's room enough for Dawn!"

                                 "There's room enough for..."

                                      Oh! Their list of toys

                                         went on and on!

                           
                           The Golden Day was ended and the

                                    Children went to sleep

                                  But inside the Lego Castle 

                          Where their dearest toy's they'd keep

                             The magic of the children's hearts 

                                 In plastic hearts would reap!

                    
                         Barbie clapped in wonder as she happily

                                          Looked around

                       Dawn and GI Joe and other bestie friends

                                            Were found!

                            
                             Such love in magic wonder as

                              They each had come to life,

                              GI Joe asked Fairy Dawn to 

                                    Be his wedded wife

                        
                               Dawn stood still in wonder,

                            And Barbie stared wide eyed

                                       Teddy Growled,

                                  Dawn found her voice

                                "I'm not to be your bride!"

                         
                          And then with fairy dust she swept

                                  Joe's sad heart all away

                             And they danced and played 

                                      Till break of Day

                                  Their truest friendship

                                         Here to stay!


                                     As morning broke

                                       Children awoke,

                                   Their toys, the plastic
                                        
                                          Merry folk

                                 Did not tease the children,

                                    For this was not a joke

                                       Were silent as an 
                                             
                                              Ox yoke
                                       
                                         No one moved 
 
                                       And no one spoke

                                
                                           In daylight

                                Castle's toys would sleep

                                     Their life filled secret,

                                          Theirs to keep

                              
                                 But every night the magic

                              Of the precious girls and boys

                                 Awoke their very special

                                  And earnestly loved toys


                                  The Lego Castle's Lights

                                              Came on

                                       And toys would play

                                      And dance till dawn

                              
                                 As the little children slept

                                  The Castle's Mysteries 

                                           Ever kept
                               
                                    


                                            The End

Thank you Daniel, it's so good to see you on here! I have so many precious children, though now grown up, and I am blessed to spend a lot of time with some of my grandchildren. They keep the inner child in me aware of their almost magical imaginations in their fun little world. They inspired my poem :)

Thank you Silent One :) It was always a joy to see my children at play, their imaginations setting a tone for their projects. Once they built a house from gathering drawers from a dresser that was going to be thrown out, along with carpet samples and things I never would have imagined being useful for a dollhouse. They already owned a Barbie dreamhouse, and yet they didn't like it as much as the one they and their friends built together. I miss those days. They loved their toys and still have quite a few, though boxed up and put away. They passed many onto other children when they knew the toys would be loved. Now to see my grandkids at play, it just simply inspired my poem :) Their imaginations are priceless!

Thank you Victor, it was fun. I have a lot of children and grandchildren who inspire me. Their imaginations bring their toys to life, and it is so sweet to watch them play. They all love Legos too, especially my youngest three when they were little. :)

I had to FAV, this beautiful work of art, BJ. This poetry is awesome, my friend. I loved it, but children would go crazy over it. It was such a smooth read with a nice rhythm to it. I hope this one gets the POTD, BJ. We'll have to wait and see. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Wow!! Is there artistic talent in your family, BJ? Really. Why not illustrate this, make it into a children's poem story-book --- and count those pesos as you live happily ever after?! This is truly marvelous penning and a big FAVE for me. ~ Mr. Pina Colada
