Exceptional Quatrains and more of magical garden mischief... Fairy Fun and Leprechaun Folly by Y. M. Roger      Acrostic Poetry Contest Winner

Fascination of the foolish         And a desire to not be bored,         Inspires quite droll shenanigans         Right here within your garden’s ward.         You just need sit so very still,           For those sprites and fairies to start –         Under mushrooms they hide themselves,         Neatly concealed, you see, they’re smart…           Ah, here comes our first leprechaun,         No care has he, 'twould thus appear –         Dips that old hat in nectar’s goo,           Laughs while in pollen it is smeared...         Each one here knows that most fairies         Pretend they're brave around the bees –         Real truth be told, they get skittish         Each time a 'buzz' sings on the breeze…         Chatter among the winged* ones,         Halts with the wee man’s cool advance –         And when he makes it to the 'shrooms,         Unmatched chaos bee-gins its dance!         Now sprites and bees create a blur,           Feathers fly and leprechaun falls –         Oh, each one laughs, even those bees,         Loud peals of joy glance off the walls…         Laughter's magic is ev'rywhere -         You’ve just to look and find it there!   Writing Prompt Write an acrostic poem.
