Fanciful August Moon

Moon shines its pale Enchanting light Upon forest floor Where winged creatures legendary, pale and sleek Spin and flit and dance To the invisible orchestra; Of Blue bells ringing Hummingbirds humming Fireflies buzzing And dandelions singing in tune With lilting fairy song as they sing Melodies that echo through forest pines To the Fairy Queen bathed in the light of The August moon © Brenda V Northeast 12th July 2008 Rewritten on 21st/ 01/2012 BVN

Your words here reminded me of Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and Mendelssohn's musical composition with the same title. Everything here is vividly descriptive.

Thank you Robert- I wrote after painting a reproduction of the fairy queen from Shakespeare's midsummer nights dream- the exception was my fairy queen was a bear. pity one can't download ones photo's or I would put it with my poem.

Visions that dance in my head under this August moon. Beautiful, such vivid imagery and fantastical scenery set to imagine the imaginary. I truly can picture this as a painting, and I think that is a sign of a master poet, thanks for sharing!
