Sleep tight, wake up jolly!

Days are friends with the night
And night a fairy who owns a dream plate;
A scoop of creamy mount topped with
A wizardo- cookie, the moon
And a thousand sizzling rock candies strewn;
A scrumptious scoop and you are thrown
To the fairy land of magic spinning shrubs,
Singing flowers, dancing butterflies
 And story-weaving brooks and there resides
Toward the ocean, an elephant and a whale;
Two mighty friends who carry the earth on turns,
Make friends with them, the two gentle forces
And have the magical potion of wisdom;
Take a nap under the gigantic, reviving trees
And in the morning the plump old man,
The ever smiling gregariously adoring sun
Will pat you up for a day to explore
A quirky, tricky, funny, zealous world;
Open the eyes and clap your hands,
Tap your foot and chuckle a bit and go!

  1. Nice ending of encouragement to the child to "go" after the wonderful description of the world awaiting them.

  5. Sreeja, I've returned to attempt commenting, as I don't think my first time went through -- (if it did, please disregard) -- Your poem is such a joy! Thank you so much for participating in my prompt. You've captured both a child's & poet's heart. Your verses are dreamy, magical, whimsical, quirky & imaginative. Indeed, this makes me want to dance and sing the songs of childhood -- and hang on to those dreams. Have a wonderful weekend! -Stacie
