Little Princess Romana

Missing image
Little Princess Romana is resting her eyes
Asleep on a toadstool she sails through the skies.
Over the mountains and the ocean so wide
She Floats like a feather on a sweet timeless ride.

Way up in the clouds with face to the ground
On the swift wings of a bluebird she circles around.
The world looks so tiny and drifts right on by
As she parts the white clouds to peer through the sky.

A woodland of beauty soon catches her eye
Slowly descending, she waves the bluebird goodbye.
Then follows a pathway of pink coconut ice
To a magical forest made of sweet sugar and spice.

Green peppermint flowers with petals of cream
And a lemonade fountain in a milk chocolate stream.
Hard candy rock trees all stand in a row
Where marshmallow toadstools and blueberries grow.

The elves and the pixies who live in the trees
Are collecting thick honey from yellow striped bees.
As they go on their way they whistle a tune
While baking brown cookies by the light of the moon.

Little Princess Romana cups both of her hands
There's cherries and peaches right where she stands.
They fall from the sky like coloured snowflakes
She spreads out her cape to gather all she can take.

Just as they fall she wakes from her dream
There's no peppermint flowers with petals of cream.
She goes to her window, and looks to the sky
She sees a bluebird with swift wings flying up high.

He carries a box with a silk turquoise bow
From the forest of dreams where blueberries grow.
Cookies with honey from yellow striped bees
A gift from the elves who live in the trees.

For Bailey, Maddy,Megan and Jazzi






Author notes

So the question is...was it a dream or had she really
been to the magical forest ?

    I love how this is so magical. I've always loved fairies. It flows very nicely and is almost dream like. It's very beautifully done and I wish you luck in the contest. At first I think it's a dream but then at the end, it says the bluebird comes in swift, like in the dream. So I'm not really sure, but if I had to say, I think it wasn't a dream at all. Great job!

    This is a good fantasy/magic poem. I found it quite surreal but also a little sweet. I liked the characterisation here. You used rhyme well.
    Thanks for your comment

    Marvellous!

    This is just so very beautifully written Shaz . I truly enjoyed every line and wouldn't change a thing. It had me captivated from start to end. I agree it could become a classic childrens poem. I can just imagine my students would be in awe of this and truly love it! The imagery was exquisitely vivid.
    Wonderful write, so bright and delicately done!

    :-D

    amazing imagery...just beautiful, sweet, and fun! the rhyme scheme is good, and not forced either, so props for that. but i think the poem could do with a few syllabic tweaks on some lines to give them a more definite, established rhythm. this has the potential to be a classic children's poem with just a few minor, structural changes. awesome job!
