Hooray! Hooray! It's Dr. Seuss's birthday!

​That means it's also time for Vivian Kirkfield's #50preciouswords contest. Yea!

Here's my official entry -- although I could tweak and revise and smoosh words around all day if I had the time!

The Peasant and the Peacock

 
A Prince arrayed in finest silk,
 
His robe the color of buttermilk,
 
Travels the kingdom puffed with pride,
 
A thorny heart nestled inside. 
 
 
“My kingdom is yours if ever you see
 
Anyone quite so handsome as me!”
 
 
A peasant girl in a dirty frock
 
Quietly points to a dazzling peacock.

    About me

    When Megan Hoyt first stepped into a tiny library in East Dallas and checked out The Fairy Doll, time stood still for one brief moment. A book! A lovely, magical book about a little girl, overshadowed and overlooked, the youngest of four, just like me! she thought. Rumer Godden gave way to Madeleine L’Engle and Frances Hodson Burnett. Soon, a sturdy, low-hanging backyard branch became a thoughtful spot where some rather large ideas began to take shape. If reading James Barrie can make a girl flap her arms and jump off a garden wall fully expecting to fly, books truly do pulse with life. 
    Megan holds a Bachelor’s in English and History from Southern Methodist University and a Master’s in Theology from Regent University, but her dearest love is writing for children.
