Look for a quiet spot
under the canopy of a tall tree.
If there are dead leaves
that's good, if there is moss
in the shade it is even better.
Scatter stones
to shape a walkway.
Carve a log into a house.
Use two rocks to make a bench,
others for some chairs.
Add a pine cone or dried mushroom
for a table.
Use sticks to form a fence.
Do you want to dig a wee well?
Then put out a sign saying
Fairies Welcome
and hope one takes up residence.
Plant seeds of happiness
and watch your garden bloom.
I'm being fanciful and I invite you to join me. This is a "how to" poem that gives directions. Can you write your own "how to" poem today? Perhaps you'd like to write about how to catch a fairy. Have fun.
Let your imagination soar.
