Jay Narain Poet Suzette Prime

fairy

where shadows play in woods 
lies the tale of moonlit fay   
whispered through the ancient trees   
hidden from the gentle gale 

they dance in circles under the starry skies   
casting spells in crystal jars    
with eyes gleaming like dewdrops    
wings of azure tint 

their laughter soft as light rain  
echoes through the wide forest  
wardens of the twilight gap  
in their secret shade 

when the mortals wander lost    
they guide them to safer zone    
but beware not all is kind  
In the fey land shine

Valsa George June 21, 2024 at 10:47 PM I feel like having been transported to a fairy land. Enjoyed the description of their habitat and their dance. Believe or not, what mysteries abound in nature.

Hilda Greenhough June 20, 2024 at 5:46 PM A poem of comforting woods, but ends with "in the fey land shine". I like the implication that the fairies may not always be gentle. This was a mystical poem.
