Rainbows and Unicorns

Rainbows and Unicorns

Poem by Iris Carden

Rainbows and unicorns, faeries and gnomes,
there's a magical world, not far from home.

Down the garden path, in forest, near stream,
the magic is waiting, you know what I mean.

Feel the whimsy of a magical location,
there's always a way through imagination.

Whatever you're doing, wherever you are,
faeries and unicorns are never far.

Let's go for a walk, just down this path,
over the rainbow and on to the stars.

Let's dance with faeries and ride unicorns.
Forget being grownups this magical morn.

I sat on my mat with my hat in a seed.
I hit it and hit it till it turned to a weed.
It grew to the size of a mouse 
then it grew to the size of a house.
It grew and grew in my hat 
bigger and bigger until it was fat.
