Where the Pixies Play


Where the Pixies Play

In the meadow, under a pine, at the edge of the wood,
right at my feet, the yellow mushroom stood.
Nothing but an ordinary mushroom by day,
but at night, it's where the pixies play.
Fluttering about with the fireflies;
giggling, whispering, and batting their eyes;
they play hide and seek among the clover,
flitting about, under and over.
They frolic and dance with the other sprites,
whiling away the starlit nights.
When at last the sun begins to rise,
they rest their heads and close their eyes,
but they'll be back when the stars shine,
on the mushroom, in the meadow, under a pine, 
which looks so ordinary during the day,
but at night, it's where the pixies play.

  2. Of course, this is where the pixies play, Connie, and I have seen many of their favorite mushroom hideaways.

  6. Connie, this is a precious poem! There's so much imagination here; "...so ordinary during the day, but at night it's where the pixies play." I've always thought of mushrooms as a place for mice to shelter.

  13. Such a sweet poem! Now every time I spot mushrooms growing, I'll think of pixies coming out to frolic around them in the moonlight. But I'll only feel a tiny twinge of guilt at eating their playgrounds on my spaghetti... :)
