Whimsy
Red feathers on the mantle,
blue feathers on the ground,
green feathers on the table top,
orange feathers floating down,
and sitting in the midst of them
a beautiful fairy child,
with bright blue eyes and rainbow wings
and hair all tangled and wild.
She laughed a tinkling little laugh
and stole a piece of candy
then shook out so much pixie dust
the floor beneath looked sandy.
Then suddenly she flew away
laughing into the night.
I couldn't discover why she came
but will never forget the sight.
