I think we can all afford to spread a little fairy dust from time to time. A more serious tone from you, and no, that's no complaint, just an observation :-). I know it's not the focus of the poem, but I love the phrase "wilted from thirst".

This is a wonderful poem. I also appreciate your author's notes. There is nothing as precious as when you feel worthless and someone treats you with kindness and respect. God bless you.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, view and concept with the rest of us. I enjoyed the journey your words took me on and the wonder felt as miracles and blessings guide the way. I read your notes which is really good as it gave an insight into your work, and for me, see the fairy dust you describe as being wonderful and joyous blessings and miracles of love, respect, honour and humility. You are to commended for your big heart and overwhelming compassion and love, a true blessing indeed.

You are most kind in your comments - kind and thoughtful. Thank you!!
Comment from Joan E.
I especially liked the repetition of the line "In the time" and the moral about kindness expressed in the last lines.
I also enjoyed your rhyme scheme (as usual) and image you chose to illustrate your poem.
Thanks again.

Wonderful combination of colours and the icing on the cake being the super artwork; I loved it. Your words are beautiful as usual; we all need to believe in the unbelievable and you have presented love in the form of a fairy. And yes, Love walks amongst us. Great work.

Fairy wishes to you, a beautiful poem filled with love as I guess you are. The only thing I would suggest that the last verse has four lines like the others, but this is a minor detail. Keep writing and passing on happiness to others. Cheers Gaye

It is written in the form of a sonnet - three quatrains followed by one couplet. Thanks so much for a kind review!
Comment from Gray Celles
Oh yes pearl yes, yes. That is all it takes and as each one sprinkles their kind of fairy dust -wow the whole world could become covered and what a beautiful place it would be - a dreamers thoughts I know but as it has been said every little helps. Would have loved to have seen two more lines at the end - and knowing you, you would have made the perfect ending. God Bless.

Sorry pearl - didn't understand the finer points. I just write the way it comes not as precise as you maybe it will come in time. Thanks God Bless.

don't worry about it - the reason I didn't identify it as a sonnet is because the poetry police come out when one calls a poem a certain form - once it is called a sonnet, then they start checking to make sure each of the 14 lines is in perfectly metered iambic pentameter, and I hate that stuff - I read poems out loud to hear the cadence, but I don't meter. You want to talk precise, you don't mean me. LOL I get hammered by the precise ones. ;-)
