My Garden Fairy



My Garden Fairy

Have you seen my garden fairy?
       Metaled wings, and so contrary,
Brassed and scalloped parasol,
It keeps her dry from winter fall.
 Her sun dress draped below her knees,
Yet barefoot still to feel the breeze,
And, every blade of grass that grows,
Upon those slender feet and toes.
She keeps her vigil every hour,
Within her hand a ribboned flower,
She waves to wish a warmer wind,
For winter’s wanton power rescind.
