Nesting Woodsey Winkin' ~*Marge Tindal*~ Tucked up in the tree top nesting we find Winkin' Nimpkin resting As hush-a-bye breezes softly blow all the woods are shushed, and so Slumber little one while you may the nighttime fun seems far away When twi-of-light begins it's fall you'll awaken to the fireflies ball Then all Faes and Elves will dance among the forest they will prance You will join in the folly and fun while chasing fireflies on the run And in merriment they will play until the rise of sun next day Quietly Winkin' will again creep to feathered nest of fast asleep~ Adorable Artwork by my friend, June Somerford Williamson Little Woodsey Nimpkins - Copyright 1998 ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

How is it that you can take me back to when a lullaby was all it took to sleep? This is lovely, Marge! The dynamic duo of pen and paint...you two should do a children's book of poetry! My compliments, also to your very talented friend. |

A cuddly, squeezable work of art... The art~ work wasn't bad either. "Slumber little one while you may ~ the nighttime fun seems far away ~ When twi-of-light begins it's fall you'll awaken to the fireflies ball~" A vision of beauty ~ I applaud a work of poetic beauty ~ Maggie ((~.~)) |

Marge: As I read this one I thought you should do a book with your friend and I see most everyone who commented feels the same way! Any possibility of that? I would think it would be a hit! Betty Lou Hebert |

This is so sweet and precious and takes me back to the bedtime stories I used to read to my children. I just adore the pictures your friend does. I beg you both to please do a book. Hugs, Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |
