M. L. Kiser Poet Tritina

Never Deal With a Fairy

The fairies harbor secrets; many humans should not know.
Some will give one away for a price; that trade is very rare.
Make a deal with a fairy and it’s for life.

No self-respecting fairy, would take less than human service for a lifetime.
What a fairy expects of a human slave; you won’t want to know.
Fortunately, deals with fairies are, quite rare.

Forget your steak dinner; in the land of fairies; you won’t get steak rare.
Fairy food, you’ll eat and fairies take no animal’s life.
How to cook fairy food, you’ll learn; it’s something a fairy slave must know.

Once you know how; your new talent will be rare but, remember that you made that trade for, your life.

Caren Krutsinger October 14, 2018 at 4:14 PM Thank you M.L. for bringing the vicious nature of faerie trades to the forefront. I would have never guessed, but now I will never forget.... M. L. Kiser October 15, 2018 at 10:12 AM Some of them can be really nasty when they want to be. Thanks.

Vijay Pandit October 13, 2018 at 1:04 PM Intriguing ...your imagination always makes me think. M. L. Kiser October 13, 2018 at 1:15 PM Then I hope you enjoy thinking...I try to make people think; I find it's the easiest way to make more people aware of things. Thanks again Vijay; your comments are always welcome.
