I hired a fairy godmother;
she was a bit bibbidi,
a dash Bobidi, but
no Boo (which is good
'casue I'm scared of ghosts).
She fashioned me a dress
out of dandelion seeds
and shoes out of spider's
webs (a tad sticky, but
apparently her charges have
had a knack for loosing them).
My conveyance was a tad
unorthodox for, well for
just about anybody
really (and obviously she
did not think about how
the giant Blue Morpho's wings
would wreak havoc on my
timeless updo).
Alas I made it to the ball
in time (if not a bit disheveled),
enjoyed a dance or two (though
the prince never looked my way),
and I made it home just in time
to see the sun rise (I'm quite glad
my fairy godmother learned how to
expand her spell duration past
midnight).
Inspiration for this piece: Last week dVerse Poets Pub celebrated three years, among the events was a ball. While pondering different ideas for the ball, several thoughts popped into mind...the idea of hiring a fairy godmother and arriving on the back of a butterfly were among the peculating ideas. While I went in a completely different direction for the ball, these inspirations still lingered...thus the piece above.

I so enjoyed this flight of fancy. We all need fairy godmother's like that from time-to-time. Delightful.
Great imaginative piece--I really liked the dandelion seed dress.
Ah, how lovely to have a dress out of dandelion seeds and shoes out of spider webs! I am sure you wore the most original costume at the ball. Smiles!!
