Too Eager To Ride Fireflies

Yesterday, the Undines had a boring day;
their last, they insist.
The things happening to the world,
are terrifying, to say the least;
when water sprites
become bored
with their aquatic home.

It seems their present preference,
is all too different, 
they’d rather fly than float.

Titania, queen of the water faeries,
was most despondent when their revelation,
descended upon her elemental ears.
“Such madness,” cried she,
“It’s the last straw when the Undines are, 
too eager, to ride fireflies!”

I'd say they just make a good pair. Beautiful, proud. I'd love to ride a firefly. Night Sparkles I call them. What a darling little poem. Sweet dreams.

As i always do maintain, your nature loving character brings out the best in your poems, and I know that if ever Faeries chose to be seen, you would be the one to be chosen to reveal themselves to. They must love you. Hugs and blessings, JENNIFER. Jennifer.
