Within the clearing in yonder forest,
On a clear and starlit nite,
Fairies, sprites, and elfin folk,
Would dance 'neath full moon bright.

It was a time for spinning magic,
For it was midsummer's eve,
Where anything was possible,
In this Land of Make Believe.

The trees could talk,
The lakes would laugh,
And birds could buzz like bees.
The winds cried out
As mauve skies sighed,
Blue grass grew tall as trees.

The brooks would giggle,
The rocks would chirp,
And bunnies croaked like frogs.
Flowers would hum,
While deer did sing,
And gold grew in the bogs.

In the clearing in yonder forest,
On a clear and starlit night,
Fairies, sprites, and elfin folk,
Danced 'neath full moon bright.

It was a time for spinning magic,
For it was midsummer's eve,
Where anything was possible,
In this Land of Make Believe.

Linda, the entire poem was so lively and gave the reader such right down to the bone, positive happy thoughts...but these lines were my favorite.

Very much enjoyed.  Smile and hugs.

You are most welcome to accompany me on my next flight to the Land of Make Believe. Mind you, wear a sweater, my feathers won't be enough to keep you warm!

Ah, dear Angel, you weave your magic well, stirring smiles in the heart.  Are you certain you are not half magic yourself?

Loved this.

You need not ask to come! I planned on swooping down and carrying you off to the Land of Make Believe, anyway!

We'd have a marvellous time together! ~ Laughing, and dancing, and eating ~ and the sights would simply amaze you!

I'll be there in a jiffy! Keep a look out for me!

(does happy Never-Land dance) Yay, and the butterflies played crystal harps just by spreading their wings in the breeze and the cherubs hearts sang like music boxes when they giggled, yay! Awwwwwww, this is soooooo gorgeous, sweet friend, I love Make-Believe Land more than any place else, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I simply adore the whimsical, fantazzmagorical, magical worlds that you can conjure up! Even your replies take me to those enchanting worlds. Your imagination is a wondrous thing to behold!
