November's Twinkle Fairy
Outside was I one evening
with my jacket on,
gazing at the pumpkin
still out there on my lawn
with its face carved in a grin.
It was November first.
A sad mood I was in.
For Halloween was over,
and October’s pretty days
of brilliant reds and yellows
would turn to browns and greys.
I went to get the pumpkin
to toss it in the trash.
Behind it I caught sight
of a bright and tiny flash.
I thought perhaps my eyes
were playing tricks on me.
The flash had arms and legs
and wings with which to flee.
It was a little fairy,
and she used a wand to show
a message made of sparkles
to set my heart aglow.
Her twinkling wand spelled out
“Be happy for this reason:
Soon will be Thanksgiving
and then the Christmas season.”
November’s Twinkle Fairy
appeared to me that day
to show the season’s sweetness
before she flew away!
