Dandelions And Fairies Poem by karen sinclair

Dandelions And Fairies

Rating: 4.8


If I sat within the downy heather of the beauteous bogland
That is Mnt Clanard
Southern Ireland
Beneath a birch... beside a stream
And plucked
All whimsical like...
One impeccable example of fairy winged

Dandelion

And as it wove in the soft southerly breeze
I shared my breath
Just one breath
Just enough... to loosen its stability
And watched all engrossed, like
As it moved angelically
Passing the treacherous stream
As if my most desired dream

It flew
I wished it well
Saw it clambering thermals
Past brown birds and green green
Fields
What good would become of my wishing well
And effortless breath
Once it has left
Past my sight
Swooning flight of fancy
I decree in my minds eye
It will become
Another new born fairy....

You are good! (I can't believe you liked my crappy poems) . Nevertheless, I'm flattered, because you are a very good poet. Great story, visuals, odd rhyming patterns that work so well within the poem, etc. Loved it! S.
