Day 12. Recipe

Recipe for a Wee Moment of Glee

Ingredients:

Eager hands of assorted toddlers

A smudge of a smidge of glue

One pinch - just a glimmer- of glitter- (fairy dust, if you must)

A sequin or two

Add one loud dash of fun


preferably, If available,

A bold splash of sun.


For best results,

Keep portions petite  - 

let the toddlers practice their pincer-grip,

So they begin nice and neat.


Process: (not product, if you please)

Stand back - let the wee ones take the lead.


Now smear the glue -just a dab or two-

Behold the glimmer 

as they  examine the glitter,

Minutely, acutely, 

to find the sparkliest bits,

(be patient, they will be  mesmerized by glitz)

Then, with a swirl of hands to a count of three,

It’s time to sprinkle, release the magic twinkle-

Wheee!


Prompt: Write a poem about a very small thing.
