Notes About The Poem

Mid-Summer Night Dream - Concluded

Part One
https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/mid-summer_night_dream_1482320
Concluded

Elves, dwarves, mini giants, and hobbits all performed.
But last was Fili as he strutted to the middle of the glen.
Secretly clutching his alexandrite lode, he flew 
Straight up ten feet with a view for all to see.
Fireflies flew erratically around him, a ghostly shine.
As Fili moved his clutched hand, he turned.
Somersaulted, spun and returned to his standing stance.
Below the people of the glen clapped in awe.
But now Fili was worried, how was he to descend
And thus receive his well merited prize?
It was the River-maid who rescued him, as she flew
And whispered in his ear.  Change the lode to the left hand
She whispered, giving him a luscious kiss.
Soon Fili landed and the Fairy Queen beckoned him.
You can take your first midnight skinny dipping and eat all
The strawberries you like so much, she graciously said.
She took his lode, put it on a crown and on his head it sat.
And now Fili, the hero, was annoyed no more.

Victor, We are grateful for transporting us to this magical country filled with dwarfs, gnomes, and witches. An exciting and successful ending to Fili's adventure! Now, may the wreath remain affixed to his forehead for a good long time!
