Creatures of Imagination and Fantasy

Legends are stories from a long time ago, Stories from history, from Egypt, from Rome, from Pompeii * Inside legends and inside museums there are "creatures of imagination & fantasy" On films they are made from special effects of technology, From makeup on figures of pottery and wood From copies of books and tablets and "burial chambers."* ("What are they? Oh I didn't know it was about graves, about the dead.") The fairies of my calendar are goddesses They are very small, they live in gardens, trees and in nature. There are fairies in Shakespeare, like in a A Midsummer Night's Dream Or on Disney movies there are fairies like Thumbelina - I just love the song, Let Me Be Your Wings, so romantic of the wind flowing. Prince Camellias sings it in the night sky, in love with Thumbelina "... let me be your only love ... Leave behind the world you know For another world of wonderful things ..." What are wonderful things? Is it a beautiful night in the sky? Have you been in the night sky? Do you have a fairy godmother? Some fairies have golden wings - "golden wings": what does that do? It's the magic pollen from the flowers, like from inside the roses of different colours. Tinkerbell is an amazing fairy because she loves "Pixie Dust" - What's Pixie Dust? I heard it from Peter Pan in Never Never Land. Maybe Pixie Dust is from a magic kingdom far away - They have wonderful mermaids there; Goddesses like Sirens, half fish half women: so dreamy, calling to the sailors ... It's cruel because they are not in love, it's a trick to "deceive" them, the sailors. ("Deceive" - that's a word from Dr Who) Cinderella's fairy godmother has a magical "wand" that grants wishes. What's it for, a "wand"? Bibbity-bobbity-boo? "It gives you your heart's desire." Does it? Is it like the heart of the rose? That's very romantic, very rare. I want to know about the secret of it - about magic, love and enchantment. What's enchantment - it's charmed love, is it? Fairies have got to be in your childhood dreams So people have their dreams to help them not to focus about work And not to focus about stressful times, Because it's so hard to think about professional things And the rules I don't like and "being relevant", "staying on the subject." These are hard things which I don't like to do (sorry, don't want to hurt anybody's feelings with that) But artists and writers can stay with their imaginations Though some people don't believe in the world of Christmas The world of fantasy and love and religions with all the candle lights, Like the menorah of Jewish religion. But I've got an open mind, I want my head to be healing* Mermaids are a wonderful kind of goddess, I love their little clams, their pearls, I love the creatures of imagination and fantasy.

*inspired by Night at the Museum *Emma loved the phrase, so we looked it up *also meaning "thinking, growing, learning"
