Notes About The Poem

Fairy

Autumn's stillness of scarlet and gold dawn
Burst open and wanders upon the lawn.
A graceful butterfly flutters alone
In the garden's foliage and fruit grown,
Under a spreading tree's playful leaves blown.
A special secret the garden does own.
A fairy in a world of magic fed.
Braided crimson pansies crown her small head,
Waves of chestnut hair, the calming wind spread.
A gown of small green leaves and velvet red
Rose petals, sheer gossamer wings outspread.
A small old gold filigreed Celtic cross
Around her neck, tied in green Irish moss.
A shimmer of awe on its lovely face
In love with nature, a childlike sweet grace.

What sparkling,imagery What a pretty poem to draw or paint. Your 8th line is my absolute favorite. My daughter use to build fairy houses as a child. They were wonderfully delightful as is your poem. Congratulations.

Oh Eve, your Celtic fairy is utterly charming. Right out of Irish lore! I guess we have to look carefully in order to see the magic of her tiny world! Congratulations my friend! Blessings!
