The Fairy Floss Tree

The Fairy Floss Tree

By Paul McCann

In the fairy forest there grew a flossy tree

Back in a once upon a time when the bumble birds made honey

and the forest fairies made bumbleberry wine .   

The flossy tree had sticky pink threads of candy strings

that hung and clung to the hives of the ramble scramble

bramble bees who hummed their songs to fairies at sunrise .

There was music around the fairy floss tree

with the strumming of spiders cobwebs

and the drumming of magic pea pods

and trumpets of  flowers in their mossy beds .

The fairies of the forest enjoyed the music and they drank

Bumbleberry wine  and they all lived together up in the fairy floss tree ,

once upon a time.
