Thank you for telling me about this poem. Maybe the not having a plan part is why I can identify with fairies so well. I guess it's the "free spirit" in me. I always have thought of fairies as "earth angels". It's fun to think about at the least. Thanks again, Ravonna

    Thank you, Ravonna - I had one reviewer way back when I posted this downgrade me because she thought it was offensive that I said God had created fairies, but I don't fine the idea disrespectful at all. I'm so glad you agree :-) It is lovely of you to review a poem not being promoted. Brooke

This is really lovely, Brooke,

light-hearted, with a smooth flow

throughout - and a charming picture.

I am just doing a few reviews of yours,

but can't stay on line long, as I'm upto

my neck in it at the moment.

Hope all is well,
Margaret.

Hi Brooke,

This is cute and I like your comparing the fairy to the angel. Is Miranda your granddaughter? And I agree, why should Heaven be any different?

Nice poem. I liked the message and overall theme of the piece. God loves us all equally and He doesn't respect one person above another. Good flow, excellent word-choice, and overall enjoyable to read and ponder...

V.K.

But still, without plan, she spreads hope and love -
perhaps God needs more than saints up above.

Perhaps so and what a magical photo you found. Thanks ever so much for this lovely thought.

Enjoyed this brief romp into the world of fairies. They do such a wonderful job in capturing the imagination. Lovely rhythm and rhymes (off rhymes, too) give a glimpse as to what the fairies do. They flutter and fly on whimsical journeys across the sky, spreading hope and love while having much fun in the process. I love the artwork you chose...I think we had a contest last year with that artwork and there were lots of interesting poems. Yes, there is a place in the heavenly scheme of things for all sorts of fairies, and magical beings.

Enjoyed this flight of fancy.
Be well, be creative...be you...;0)

Interesting. What form were you intending here if any? It wasn't as smooth as I wish it was but I guess you intended that. Also, I couldn't help but to notice your odd rhyme scheme. I think you could have done better: example "job" and "God". Anyway, some adjusting is needed.

    thank you for your review - I do not aspire to exact rhyme so am quite happy with job/God and do not write to conform to named forms - rather to write meaningful/enjoyable poetry. I find near and surprising rhymes quite delightful in the poetry of others and use it often in my own work, quite by design. I'm sorry this fell short for you. Thank you for your thoughts.

Great poem that gives much needed credit and credence to those playful and elusive little fairies. A great upbeat romp and a great little rhyme! Nothing wrong with this poem!

Now that is a nice rendition on fairies. Whimsical little things that tickle our curiosity and cause us to wonder--to drift into a land of make believe, how much fun.

I like your poem because it takes us to a place far from the cares of our world today... makes for a nice journey. I'll get on board! :-)
