Karen Nivens - Once

Once
Upon
A time had
So long ago,
Misty eyes awoke
To see fairies dancing
Spryly in the morning’s dew,
Whilst unicorns nibbled clover
On a hill climbed by giants to view
Mermaids swimming in the ocean nearby;
Snuggly blankets granted us protection
Against monsters entering our room,
Magical dreams soothed us in sleep
And our innocence was blessed
As fairies’ dancing loomed
In stars sparkling light
Upon a time
Long ago
We had
Once
