Moonlit Tea With the King of Hearts

One moonlit night,
past Midsummer Day,
a winsome girl,
let her heart take flight.


Wandering alone,
through the woods she came,
to a wee pretty table,
illuminated by flame.


Quiet as a mouse,
She tip toed up to the charming tea,
then a giggle and a laugh
and out of the darkness stepped he.


Smiling most brightly,
he offered her tea to try,
and though she was tempted,
when pigs fly! was her reply.


Alas, pigs do fly here!
glancing sideways at him,
a cuppa she accepted.
And as she sipped the tea,
allayed was her fear.


The two laughed and made merry,
they played games,
sang and danced
until they became weary.


But as the music box sang,
the clocks all struck the hour,
and daylight was coming,
to turn their joy sour.


With a swift kiss to his lady,
the king did depart,
but not before leaving a precious gift...
the key to his heart.


And the girl awoke with a start,
bathed in sun in her studio,
with sleep filled eyes,
and a racing of her heart.


Just a dream thought she,
this king and his tea...

Or was it?

Thank you so much for joining me for a cuppa! This is my third year in a row reveling in the tea party madness with Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist and many, many others. I hope you enjoyed the wee story I whipped up and conned the hubs into playing along on... oh who am I kidding, he enjoys dress up as much as I do! Now that, lovely ladies is quite the catch! ;-)
