Dainty Pea

Dainty
A black-eyed-pea,

In my heart, you are my black-eyed pea.
In my pocket, I carry one pea with me,
Rolling you around in my fingers throughout the day.

Dainty Ballerina

In silken shoes, she twirls upon the stage,
A whisper of the wind, so light, so free,
Her movements paint the air, a soft engage,
With every leap, she writes a symphony.

Dainty as petals kissed by morning dew,
Delicate lines drawn in the evening light,
A fleeting dream, with every turn she flew,
A fleeting glimpse of heaven, pure delight.

Her heart beats strong beneath the gauzy veil,
Grace woven through each arch and pointed toe,
In every spin, the world begins to pale,
And time suspends, as if it longs to know.

A ballerina, in her art, she’s bound,
In graceful dance, true beauty can be found.

delicate demure dainty dandelion

Delicate demure dainty dandelion
Showing out in subtle ways
Perfection in symmetry
Beautiful against the verdant grasses
I revere you, dandelion.
You will always be a flower to me.

she was demure dainty and kind

Charlie recognized grandma's neighbor Teresa the instant she looked up.
He had not seen her for ten years, but he remembered her kindnesses.
When grandma passed he felt too miserable to play with her kittens.
Teresa took it upon herself to look after the tiny beasts.
She also talked her parents into letting her take them home.
Which alleviated a huge problem for his parents who were allergic to cats.
Along with her kind eyes he found a kindred spirit and a beautiful smile.
Could I take you to lunch? He asked her.
Teresa nodded without words.
She was still demure and dainty.
His heart began building dreams.

Snow

                             An ethereal lady visiting us!
                         She arrives magnificently dressed
                 In white silky laces, and exquisite silver jewellery,
                     Glistening and glittering, in a light feathery gown.

                She breezes in dancing and prancing around the trees,
                  But gradually her angelic silhouette gets blurred
                    By a luminous veil - her dainty slender figure
                                Becoming translucent to our eyes...

                  With her celestial magic wand, she turns the tall 
                          Evergreens gorgeously adorned with
                Shimmering snow-pellets, each snowflake reflecting 
                 Elation and ecstasy concealed and crystallized!

Dainty Sweet Pixie Woman

Dainty sweet pixie woman seen through yonder coconut tree
Has superior monarch markings on her chest and one knee
Heard that her singing voice is even more melodic than thee
I listen for the sound of her, as she glows most happily

Dainty Hippo Man

Dainty hippo man with your light lovely lithe sprint
Your two-step makes my gleeful eyes squint
I love the way you circle around the room after a nap
With your shoes going sixty directions, tapping tap tap tap

Your top hat and cane make your dancing complete
It is energetic and exciting; it simply cannot be beat.
Dainty hippo man, you do such an amazing two-step.
With such a lovely kick, and engaging hippo pep.

Dainty Vials of Nectar

Dreaming of verdant meadows and amber acreage
    flush on the banks of a dazzling blue lake's ridge 

  Jousting with villains for the hand of fair damsels
    or expounding the writ close by the chancel

  Forsooth, verily, indeed and indubitably 
    though others kvetch and moan lugubriously

  Verily, forsooth, by my troth and a tad convolutedly
    I've plied my trade unfailingly jubilantly

  Always meant to be a poet from the age of nine
    ~ crafting dainty vials of nectar with zesty grape wine

Bruiser Bear's Dainty Sip

For such a large intimidating dude, he has a dainty sip.
We were tiptoeing around him, hoping none of us would slip.
He is a bruiser of a bear, probably weighs eight hundred and two.
He’s been nursing that martini for an hour whispered my cousin Sue.

Darla the Dainty Faerie Cat

Darla, the dainty faerie cat with her sculpted wings
And her peach tinted nose, crept among my things
I watched her eyes, they were a beautiful brown.
She is one of the most gorgeous cats around.

She is so delicate! Said my friend Old Sven.
He sucked in his tummy to look more thin.
I knew she would not want an old guy like him.
I am pretty sure she is more interested in me, Big Jim.

Dainty Christmas Deer

Dainty Christmas deer with his blonde fur aglow.
He prances with magnificence in the twinkling snow.
His mother has put glitzy ornaments on his sweet head.
We dream of him the second we climb into our bed.

The Dainty Faerie

The dainty faerie found a napping place in the meadow, above the forest wood.
We knew she was there, so we tiptoed, as considerate elves and gnomes should.
She apparently needed her rest as much as any faerie in the glen ever had.
Her parents were appreciative of our consideration, her grandma equally glad.

Tiny Delicate Dainty Christmas Mouse

Tiny delicate dainty mouse in a Christmas box
You were left in the woodlands by a foxy fox. 
He knew you’d be found by the man in the glen.
With a heart of gold, who is an animal’s friend.

A gift! The man said. Is he injured or hurt?
He looked you over carefully, not rough or curt.
Then he decided to keep you and love you as his own.
You now have a magnificent place to call your home.

Delicate Dainty December Faerie

Delicate Dainty December Faerie whirled in with the first snow.
She is a beauty! The woods said, smiling at her prettiness.
She is gorgeous! Agreed the flakes, twirling happily in her presence.
She is a marvel! Stated the icicles that accompanied.
But a tiny bit stuck up added the only honest one in the bunch.
