Happening Upon a Faerie Tree
Once upon a summers eve
I happened upon a faerie tree
Saw an elf wiping off his delicate sleeve
He wiggled his pointed toes at me.
How dare you come to spy on us?
He gave me a look of pure disgust.
I apologize I said, I did not mean to cry.
He said “I shall send you away, bye and bye.”
I did not know what this meant I should do.
Never having met the fey in the outdoors before.
I decided to stay, and watch, and wait. Wouldn’t you?
I watched faeries for an hour, maybe more.
Best day of my life so far.
I loved it more than a runaway star.
The fey embraced me and gave me an honorary name.
In their world now I have a teensy bit of fame.
