Play-A Romantic Adventure

Written by the hands,
  Of James Matthew Barrie.
Came a remarkable play,
  Of four kids and a fairy.

Of a boy named Peter,
  Who took Wendy by the hand.
Leading her and her brothers,
  To the magic of Neverland.

With childish innocence,
  Written in every line.
This ingenious play,
  Stood the test of time.

For Peter never ages,
  He’ll never be a man.
Solely a boy forever,
  Thus.......Peter Pan.

With a little pixie dust,
  Off the wings of Tinker Bell.
Came a romantic adventure,
  In the words of a fairy tale.

I'm glad you like Peter Pan too. It's one of my favorite books. This is a sweet poem. The rhyming feels very natural. I have a few suggestions. Line 2, 18, and 20 have too many syllables so the rhythm is thrown off a bit. Maybe reword or shorten them somehow? Also, I think this poem could work just as well without any end punctuation because the line breaks are natural stopping points. Try it and see what you think. Thanks for writing this!
