A Fairy named Twinkle

Something lighthearted and fun for tonight

 

~

Find here a poem read throughout the ages,

passed down from elders to youngsters below

A mystical rhyme with a fairy tale ending

that maybe is true, but we really don’t know

 

Perhaps just a legend, the town folk all chuckle

as children run off through the forest each night

In hopes they will capture a glimpse of the magic

a small dancing fairy so happy and bright

 

~~~~~~~

 

A fairy named twinkle, the temperatures falling,

when twilight appears in its grey flannel hues

As evergreens rest with their branches a’ shimmer

and sunset reflects in these cold weather views

 

While there in a clearing, the fairy she dances

as sparkles go flitting aloft in the air

Her wings all a flutter in snowflakes of glitter,

the woods come alive on this evening to share

 

The stars in the heavens all mirror her image,

like glimmering sequins in silver and gold

Orbiting gems on a black velvet skyline,

a wonderful gift for the scene to behold

 

When chipmunks and rabbits and deer start to gather

all wearing a smile at this beauty they see

This fairy named twinkle who spins as she offers

her late winter dance oh so delicately

 

The moon shining full sends its beams down around her,

illumines her movements, a soft evening glow

While squirrels with acorns sit up in the treetops,

the best seats they find for this magical show

 

Then just as it started, so soon it is over,

as footsteps are heard on a path winding through

The fairy named twinkle departs in an instant

as children approach so in hope of a view

 

~~~~~~

 

So there now you have it, the poem of Twinkle,

her enchanting dance when the evening is new

But is she for real or just imagination

I can’t really say, I’ll leave that up to you

Good preparation for those kids. Life has its disappointments. Wait until they find out the truth about Santa Claus.

Wait...what's the truth about Santa Claus?

I believe every syllable count of this wand waving tale
Let me thank you for finally bringing the reality of the fairy into public view
