Monday Magic

There is magic in the air as we all get ready for Microfiction Monday #72. If your new, Susan, over at Stony River, delivers a challenge once a week-we are to write a story about a picture she posts in 140 characters or less (including punctuation and spacing)and then link up back at her site.

I loved this week's picture, and let my mind wander about it for a while before trying to formulate my entry. For some reason the poetry flowed much easier than the prose, although I'm pretty happy with both (I can't wait to hear what you think.) Here is the picture:
And here is my first entry:
The fairy floated down, resting her staff inside the little boy's shoe-one silver coin for one small tooth, and she would be on her way. (135 characters)

And here is my poem

Pixie dust, fairy wings,
Knights, castles, noble kings,
Pretty pink polish,
And plastic rings,
My little girl's world,
Is my everything. (138 characters)

I am looking back tonight, so this is probably why the poem came much more easily. My little girl is not so little anymore-she turns 12 next week, but I still remember those early days like they were yesterday.  Sigh... I see the link isn't up yet, so I will come by your blogs tomorrow!

    Awww, these are both so sweet. The second one, to me, is reminiscent of Puff the Magic Dragon.

    The poem especially stands out, not least for being put together so quickly.
