Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

Up, Up, Up She Goes

she flittered, she flew
taxing her wings, little sputtering things
with each teeny-tiny flap - a sparkle of gold
twinkled her wee little sky

up
    up
        up

she goes

faerie friends laughed at her goal
to see the heavens from Redwood Mount

the tree tickled by her effort
and sparkling breathless
arrayed with golden boots, skirt
then shirt

she lands and sleeps
for awhile dreaming of stars
circling her weary nest

maternal arms gently wrap
around this teeny-tiny force of nature

she yawns and sees the dawn
colors imagined only on the ground
paint the horizon

she waves her wand
and captures specks

her pointy toes will touch the earth
after the sunshine of Summer
the hallelujah winds of Fall
brisk snow of Winter
and in the flowery Spring she lands
as the faerie applause explodes

barely whispering in the ear’s of a gnat
