Elf

 Spring Breeze Surprise!

A window left open to catch warm Spring breeze

was discovered by Wee Folk, who entered with ease,

into small boy's bedroom and explored all around.

And one thing of interest was a jar that they found!

Inside, it held wonders for mischievous pair,

(green marbles) on which they could balance with flair

and ride 'cross the sill in true derring-do feats,

then, pivoting, make an impressive repeat!

Their hats were bright red and their clothes, leafy green.

Those red pointed hats were first things that were seen,

when boy opened door with a startled, "OH, MY!"

And he took in the whole scene in the blink of an eye!

And the two Elf-lings mouths made a pair of round "O"s!

And quick, out of the window, both Elf-lings did go!

But that glimpse of true magic left a memory treasure,

through decades recalled, with the greatest of pleasure!

When grown to adulthood, boy, true tale related,

in a wonderful book with art he created!

Thus, the magic he saw on his own window-sill

enchanted more children and I hope, ever will!
