Although fantasy is not my favorite thing to read, your story poem was easy to follow and held my attention. Great rhyme, meter and alliteration throughout.

Good poem. Excellent for imagination.
IN THE HEART OF THE TANGLED TIMBERS
WHERE THE TOAD STOOLS GROW TEN FEET TALL
LIVED THE FAIRIES OF FERNWOOD FORSET
IN A TIME FEW CAN NOW RECALL

Comment from GeraldS
Interesting narrative for a Sunday morning posting. I see this as the story of mankind. Starts out in innocence. Then innocence is lost. Prayer brings it back. Am I close?

Gerald, thank you so much :-) Your interpretation was not what I was thinking of when I composed, but that is a great thing about poetry, that other interpretations can have lovely meaning. Brooke :-) Brooke
Comment from drivenbackward
Great poem, Brooke. There were two things that stood out for me here. One, your imagination. Very impressive. Two, how the whole time you were leading to one specific message that holds a lot of power. I'm wondering if you mapped this out or just let it flow and ended up there?

I always just let it flow - I never know where the heck I'm going when I start - at some point the ending reveals itself to me and then I work toward it, but probably not till I'm half way through. Thanks so much, my friend :-) Brooke
Comment from Adri7enne
Ah! What a lovely story of overcoming, Brooke. I read it aloud and it bounced right along. Great rhyming. Lovely alliterations "Fairies of Fernwood Forest." "tangled timbers, where the toad stools grow ten feet tall," Great alliterations of the letter "t".
Well done, Brooke!

Comment from Treischel
An excellent story that is fabulous for children. It flows smoothly on abcb rhyme. Good alliteration., sone anaphoric, enjambment, and assonance keeps it fresh and interesting. The dissipation of the dark cloud with fairy dust was wonderful imagery.

Comment from TOMORAL
This is poem for those of all ages to take delight from. It shows how darkness can turn to light, as if by magic, if only one believes. Beautifully written and inspirational to those of us who often find ourselves in the dark. Blessings...

Really nicely written, Brooke. I love all the alliteration
and the recurrence of the character/symbols. I only wish we didn't have to rely on faeries and magic glitter to push the dark clouds away.
Peace, Lee

Lee, thank you so much, my friend. Sadly, I cannot report to you what yesterday's sermon was about because I was so engrossed in writing this. LOL I appreciate your sixth star :-) Brooke
Comment from gypsycaravan
I loved how I could apply this poem's moral to most any darkness in the world today. I wish we had these fairies of Fernwood Forest to lighten the darkness caused by ISIS today. Your poem is always such a lyrical read. Thanks for sharing.
