A whimsy (inspired by Writer's Island)

A whimsy took me
Raised me up
And carried me away
I held on to it
Tenderly, lovingly
And fed it every day
I watch it growing
Finding expression
Shape and form
And I know one day
It won’t be a whimsy
But the norm

    Clever, rhythmic and wise. I'm struggling with this prompt.

    Thanks. I struggled with the last two prompts and just couldn't come up with anything. Some prompts just resonate more than others, I guess :-)

    Whimsy is like magic with wings! It is only a matter of time till those wings need to rest on earth awhiles! Lovely little poem!

    It's funny you should say that. I've just been browsing your poems and admire the way your poems flow without needing to rhyme :-)
