Trish the fish - a limerick

A limerick for the Monday's Child picture prompt this week.

Trish the fish 

On a warm but very cloudy day 
To the waters edge I went to play 
Out of the water popped a fish 
"Hello," she said, "My name is Trish"
And I just didn't know what to say

Fairy fun for Three Word Wednesday

The words for Three Word Wednesday this week are Grace, Jitter and Thin. My poem this week is also in response to Monday's Child...fair of face picture prompt:

Fairy shoes 

It was nearly time for the Springtime ball 
In the distance she heard her mother's call 

From leaf to leaf she did flitter 
Inside herself she was all a jitter 

Fairy had looked but could not find her shoes 
She spotted Bee and hoped for good news 

With grace she waited until she could say 
"Mr Bee, have you seen my shoes today?" 

Barefoot and poised on that leaf so thin 
Bumblebee's answer caused her to grin
