In a shiny place called In-Crescent Moon.
Somewhere to be found between morning and noon.
There lived a fairy called Moonlight Embrace,
she had a wonderfully sweet, charming face.
Wisps of hair filled with sparkles of light,
drifted about like sapphire's at midnight.
Tiny jewels covered her shoes,
so dainty her feet, as they glowed blue.
She had gossamer wings of silver-toned hue,
frosted over with touches of blue.
All dressed in midnight, winsome and sweet,
a sight to see if only you might meet.
Flitting about she looked here and there,
with a sidelong, wondering, glimmering glare.
With a sprinkling of star dust and a swish of her wings
her head tilted back, she started to sing...
"Oh where is my breakfast, oh where is my lunch?
I need them, I want them, my tummies in a bunch."
Her mother stared, her mother sighed.
"My dear," she said, "that's for the other guys.
You know I've told you, time and again,
we live in midnight, only dinner you get."
With a sniff, a sigh, and a small little swish,
she floated down to peer in each dish.
"What lovely food I see here.
Mother, you fixed it you are so dear."
With a lovely hug and a quick little kiss,
down she sat, giving her napkin a swish.
She dined on blueberries - so sweetly,
and drank moonbeam tea - very neatly.

Author notes
I have so many children's poems it was hard to decide.
I have a dream to publish a children's book.
Published in the e-book - "A Dream of a Child's Dream"
Yes, you may print it out. This was written for a child to read.

Here's my suggestion;
Sorry it took so long. I've so much on my plate these days that it's falling off all over the floor.
"Wisps of hair filled with sparkles of light,
drifted about like sapphire's in midnight."
The best to you in this challenge.

Oh you did a super fantastic job on this write! the imagery is out of this world. I could totally see the whole thing in my head! Wow! congrats on your gold you already won~ Good luck in this contest!

"Wisps of hair filled with sparkles and stars,
drifted about her like a bright day-star."
These lines are very visual but I am a bit distracted by rhyming; "stars" with "star"
The story in and of itself is fantastical. I think you have great potential in your endeavor to be a children's book writer. The beauty of children's poetry, in the rhyming sense is; forced rhymes are acceptable.
An excellent entry. Thank you for submitting this poem in our contest. I wish you luck!
