The tree naked now its leaves lost long long ago but newly dressed in sweets and fruits oranges and candy apples cluster from branch to branch peppermint canes and liquorice sticks sugar mice both pink and white delicately hang from invisible thread you tottering towards this magical tree disbelieving what you see. "It's like living in a fairy story!" "Strange it is the only time it's ever done that!" I say gobsmacked "It only does that once in a hundred years!" I inform her. "Really?" "Really!" Back in bed her crop of sweets safely harvested. Her big big Panda guarding the horde. I shush her to sleep with HUSHABY MOUNTAIN. Remove a jelly baby from a sticky curl. I kiss her sweet smile. Her unwilling eyes close. Dolly's eyes still wide with astonishment. Panda  still on guard eyeing me warily. Her dreams flickering behind eyelids.

LIVING IN A FAIRY STORY
The tree naked now its leaves lost long long ago but newly dressed in sweets and fruits oranges and candy apples cluster from branch to branch peppermint canes and liquorice sticks sugar mice both pink and white delicately hang from invisible thread you tottering towards this magical tree disbelieving what you see. "It's like living in a fairy story!" "Strange it is the only time it's ever done that!" I say gobsmacked "It only does that once in a hundred years!" I inform her. "Really?" "Really!" Back in bed her crop of sweets safely harvested. Her big big Panda guarding the horde. I shush her to sleep with HUSHABY MOUNTAIN. Remove a jelly baby from a sticky curl. I kiss her sweet smile. Her unwilling eyes close. Dolly's eyes still wide with astonishment. Panda  still on guard eyeing me warily. Her dreams flickering behind eyelids.
