Notes About The Poem

Poetic form: Suzette Swan Arc

Oscillation – A Defining Feature of Suzette Swan Arc Poetry | PoetrySoup.com

fey: strange, supernatural, other-worldly, clairvoyant
The title Fey Wisdom becomes doubly evocative: it suggests both the mystical aura of a fairy-like guide and the grounded, enduring wisdom of a mother figure. It’s a fusion of myth and maternal reality.

‘She’: Capitalised to emphasise the personification of a Mother Figure in the poem.

Andrea Dietrich May 11, 2026 at 11:19 AM It's cool to see what you did here with that lovely picture as inspiration, Suzette . I enjoyed this Suzette Richards May 11, 2026 at 11:22 AM Thank you, Andrea. Some days the poem writes itself and, yes, the picture played a large part in the title and I took it from there. Thanks for reading :)
