They Healed a Dying Oak

Once upon an autumn eve, faeries danced among the leaves of a great old oak, deep in the woods, that sits behind my neighborhood. So delicate, these sprites, they be, an enchanting vision’s what I see. luminescent in the full moon’s light, lovely little twinkling lights. Like dancers around the maypole, they sang and danced, in a charming way. Their tiny voices, barely heard; no other life there, even stirred. Ethereal chanting, tranquilized me, while they healed an old oak tree. Vibrations swift, in woodfae song, fairy medicine, it is quite strong.

A lovely story of fairies healing the dying oak - wish fairies were real in this world, maybe only us poets thinks this way. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I love these faerie tales, M.L. At times I wish that the 49.9% of me that is female would try writing one... But NO. The male beast in me, arms folded, just shouts: NO CAN DO. lol. Thanks for a great poem. :) gw

This is quite a good fantasy poem.I'm sure that faeries don't exist until you have to take blood pressure medication.But all that a side the poem would suite being read to children or old women who don't know any better
