I WOULD BE VERY PLEASED TO HEAR FROM YOU, MAYBE YOU WENT ON TO BECOME AN AMAZING POET IN YOUR LATER LIFE.
FAIRIES IN THE GLEN
Have you seen the elves and fairies
Down in Greenwood Glen ?
I think I have, I think I have,
I've seen some wee, wee men.
I've seen some pretty fairies, too
With shiny, shimmering wings,
And I've heard some fairy music -
It's so sweet when a fairy sings.
Patricia Adams (age 9)
In the land where fairies dwell
There stands a lovely wishing-well.
I wish you could see the fairies there
Washing their golden, curly hair
And there upon a summer night
Sits the Queen in her delight,
Bringing joy to every friend,
Happiness that has no end.
Joyce Farmer (Age 10)
FAIRY REVELS
With a whisper of tiny voices, a rustling of the breeze
That is very gently stirring the supple green trees,
A hundred little moombeams filtering through the glass,
A million little fairies are dancing on the grass.
A tiny, little fairy band tinkling ts fairy tune,
Whispering out its melody, stealing through the gloom,
With a clash of fairy cymbals, a twirl of fairy feet,
All the dainty fairies fly home to Fairy Street.
Jean Sanders (Age 12)
