Waterfall wishes on stars with no swings I’m sending to you on butterfly wings. Pennies are wasted on a wishing well. Pennies instead for sweet thoughts that you tell. Oh, pennies from heaven as your heart sings waterfall wishes on stars with no swings and dandelion dreams you hope will come true. I’ll click my red heels to bring them to you! Over my rainbow, love can stay blind. Better than Leprechaun’s gold, you will find waterfall wishes on stars with no swings and all of my love attached with no strings. Close your eyes; take my hand; let yourself feel. I’ll be your Wendy if you’ll make it real! Fly me away to a dreamland that brings waterfall wishes on stars with no swings. Written Dec. 17, 2016 For Julie Leigh Rodeheaver "Whisper Sweet Nothings" Poetry Contest

Happy Sunday Andrea, 'Waterfall wishes on stars with no swings ~~ Pennies are wasted on a wishing well. ~~ Pennies instead for sweet thoughts that you tell.' A penny for your thoughts..takes me back. Though can't quite put my finger on it, this poem seemed to be written from a different Andrea. Except for all the comments. a veritable who's who of the Soup. That swing looks like pure fun., got a kick outta that. -Richard

the title was given to all of us by the contest sponsor, so that part does not sound like me, I suppose. But the rest is me!! I love this poetry form. i found the sponsor's title perfect for the moving line of quatern.

Andrea, my wife read this over my shoulder and punched me saying...."THAT'S GOTTA BE A WINNER!" I think it was the "I'll be your Wendy if you'll make it real!" line that got her. Thanks for participating in the contest.
