The Fairy Garden

Sunlight shone from all around
Melting the blanket of snow on the ground
Flowers, bushes, trees galore
There stood a child staring with awe

Figures dancing in the air
Gnomes fishing and starting to glare
“Oh, if only I could fly!”
Said one of them staring up at the sky.

Mystical and enchanting creatures
Some with odd and very strange features
In the middle stood a big elm tree
Where all the fairies come to tea

Rabbits, hedgehogs, moles or mice
Any beast that is rather nice
All are welcome to go to the Elm
For it is the entrance to the Fairy Realm
