A WILD RIDE

A fairy rides on a toad 
who is white.
She giggles and laughs
and sings with delight.

They jump through the forest
where her flower beds loom.
And she whispers to me
It's magic that makes
my garden bloom.

Her pansies are bigger
than that white toad,
as together they leap
on down the road.


     Elves, brownies, pixies and fairies, all kinds of wee folk live in the forest.  When she isn't riding on her toad, what do you think the fairy is doing?  Can you write a poem about that today?  Have fun?

WILIFORD MOUSE

Wiliford Mouse

liked to spend hours

sitting in the garden

smelling the flowers.


This little mouse

was quite a hoot

sniffing the pollen

with his yellow snoot.


He'd taste the petals,

lap up the dew

but when the cat

came stalking through


Wiliford tried hiding

under the pansies

but he couldn't help it

young Wiliford sneezed.

AH  AH  CHOOOOO!






    Hey, Happy Thursday.  I want to thank you for stopping by and reading my poem.  I've used a slip rhyme, or assonance rhyme in the last stanza.  If you can think of a flower that rhymes perfectly with sneezed, please let me know.  That last stanza still needs work, but I'll get to it.
