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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
