It’s day three of Blogging University Inspiration course and for this I was to respond to a word prompt and write anything I wanted. There were six word prompts to choose from. I gave myself more of a challenge and picked two of the prompts ‘hope’ and ‘home.’ A third, ‘choice’ was used as the theme.
As you’ll see, it’s a poem for children. Apologies for writing a Christmas poem in November, but that’s where my imagination went 🙂

Stuck in a storeroom.
Stuck in a box.
Stuck with these baubles –
and nobody talks.
She wants to be shiny.
She wants to be seen.
She wants a fine dress –
but this one is green.
At last it’s December!
At last on a shelf!
At last she’ll make friends –
but stuck by herself!
______________
A new home for fairy.
A home with a tree!
Will she sit on top?
Oh, where will she be?
Her hopes are shattered.
A shiny angel is placed
in the home that she wanted –
it’s the bottom she’s based 😦
She blames the green dress
as she cries on the tree.
“It just isn’t fair –
it should have been me!”
One night her owner’s
beside on the floor.
“She’ll be here for the angel;
I’m green – she’ll ignore.”
But the girl takes fairy!
Places her on her knee:
“I love you the most
you remind me of me.”
It’s then fairy knew
what this can all mean
“We love different things –
and this girl loves green!”
I remember the hours of fun I had playing with the fairies on my Christmas Tree as a child. The fancy one was never played with because it was up so high. I loved the little ‘not so stunning’ ones better anyway.
Awww this is so cute! ❤ I love your little backstory behind it too!!! Great poem!
