My Lily Pad Queen
She sat on the leaf, my Lily Pad Queen
It was one of two leaves in the pond
Hers always, when wearing Irish Green
Other remained back saved for her friend
Waiting for me, her Lily Pad Prince
She knows me not though I know her well
Holding tight to her perch afraid to dance
Looking around would I ring her bell
Green eyes passed me over, then they teared
Deep I dived, I'll stay a hundred years

What a beautiful story about a Lily Pad Queen...great mashup of two prompts!
I love this Jim! Lovely story & lovely poem. As Truedessa and Susie pointed out, great multi prompting!
Well done. A lily pad romance, and diving into those green eyes.
Almost a fairy tale, this. Enjoyed it. Nice one.
I adore the last line of your poem ... going to tuck it away in my memory bank.
Just beautiful, Jim. A lovely story.
A lily pad princess and her prince diving in for 100 years. Nice.
Todella kaunis!
