Dew Dream

Dew 1

 

Dew Dream

If you look quickly

Right down on the ground

You might catch a glimpse

Where fairies abound

.

Dew 2

See that slight flicker

Corner of your eye

A glint of red-gold

Just before they fly

.

Dew 3

Oh no you’re too late

They’re gone in a flash

And all that is left

Is you and the grass!

.

Dew 4

It was lovely to see these sparkling diamonds all over my lawn after some good rains.

In real life there were all sorts of colours; orange, blue and purple. However, when this was processed through my camera, they mostly turned to white sparkles.

So, it is impossible to capture fairies – even in a photo!

post script: For those of you who cannot make the last verse rhyme, I have a northern English accent with the short ‘a’ for grass, not graaaass.
