The Best Game the Fairies Play
Posted: Sun Sep 29, 2019 9:47 am
I'm not a poet. Yet as a "littlie", I dearly loved the poetry in volume 1 poems for children in the Child craft set.
Kim asked for someone to post a poem ...so bear with me as I share with you a poem that I loved from long ago. It is lighthearted and not really categorised as spiritual unless you consider the wealth of beings well known and unknown that we share this magnificent universe with. As a child it was one of my favourites.

( I used to giggle at the "clutch your things part.)
The Best Game the Fairies Play
BY ROSE FYLEMAN
The best game the fairies play,
The best game of all,
Is sliding down steeples—
(You know they’re very tall).
You fly to the weathercock,
And when you hear it crow,
You fold your wings and clutch your things
And then let go!
They have a million other games—
Cloud-catching’s one,
And mud-mixing after rain
Is heaps and heaps of fun;
But when you go and stay with them
Never mind the rest,
Take my advice—they’re very nice,
But steeple-sliding’s best!
