Around the Corner

To taste the sound of petals' song
how quietly... they drift along
above the grove, all clothed in flames
till pixies scatter dust on boughs.

Through morning's rise, they’ll fade from view
like stepping stones from me to you...
if you believe, glide far away
around the corner, there's a wand!

Though I'm not a fan of the fantastic, this is a step above most fairyland pieces I've read. Love that last line. Congrats on a super make-believe poem.

Dear me! I want to see these fairies so bad. Your wording, phrasing and rhyming--- delicate and impeccable. Nette, this light airy poem carried me along a flowing pool of fantasy.

Perfection. You took me to a world so whimsical and innocent like a corner in the fae-like sky. Brilliant is your middle name, Nette; had fun with your last contest with thanks!
