Day 8: Fairy poem(at home)

Faith is still pregnant. Yes, still. Here is a poem I wrote, it's from the Queen of the Faries (or Fey) to young innocent girls.

Come into the wood, my child, come into the wood
Magic awaits, mystery calls, and you can dream like you never could
The birds will sing of your arrival, the trees will bend and sway
And I shall send the forest folk to help you find your way

Step upon the path, my dear, step upon the path
Guarded by sun, light and love, fear not evil's wrath
You'll see your dreams, feast with us, and know how it feels to fly
We'll laugh and play and tumble as the mortal world passes by

Leap into the air, little one, leap into the air
We'll put rouge upon your lips and tye ribbons in your hair
A dress of shimmering starlight with spidder silk and lace
Crystal slippers for your feet and glitter for your face

Dance with us, my darling, dance with us and sing
Come dance with us, the fairy folk, inside the toadstool ring
The mortal realm is aging, it withers every day
Come feast and dance and play with us, stay forever with the Fey


It is said that if you dance in a fairy ring you'll go to fairyland---forever. You can only be rescued if some one pulls you from the ring w/o going into it too. Yet if you eat, drink, or sleep in the fairy realm you cannot ever be saved. I like it. Please be nice if you are critiquing it, I don't paticuarally want critiques on it.^^

MY FIRST COMMENT! YAY! hey elissa! its carolyn. its funny cause i was just thinking about the faeirie festival and came across your post. SWEET POEM! i love you use of imagery and stuff. i wear a pixie around my neck sometimes and she keeps me straying me away in my dreams. i think you really hammered the nail in the head with trying to entice the reader. i really like how you gave the vibe of the whole folklore thing. you kept it true. again, awesome job.
