Write something that has the 'feel' of a nursery rhyme
Do we have 'new' nursery rhymes? I wrote some pieces 'based on' nursery rhymes about 20 years ago. I've added them as examples.

You Are My Moonlight

Of all the times when I would go out

Shield my eyes from the burning sun

Searching for a glimpse of your face

But you’ve turned and gone away.

You are my moonlight, my dearest moonlight

You bring me joy on the darkest nights

You’ll never know, dear, how much I miss you

Without you I’ll give up the fight.

I will be waiting, forever waiting

To see you running home again

But you’ve gone where I cannot follow

And left me standing behind.

You are my moonlight, my dearest moonlight

You bring me joy on the darkest nights

You’ll never know, dear, how much I miss you

Without you I’ll give up the fight.

You told me once, dear, you’d never leave me

We’d be together forever more

But now you’ve left me and I can’t find you

Please, won’t you take the pain away?

You are my moonlight, my dearest moonlight

You bring me joy on the darkest nights

You’ll never know, dear, how much I miss you

Without you I’ll give up the fight.

In my mind you’re still right beside me

Holding my hand with a bright smile

If you would come back, if just for one day

My shattered heart could feel some peace.

You are my moonlight, my dearest moonlight

You bring me joy on the darkest nights

You’ll never know, dear, how much I miss you

Without you I’ll give up the fight.
