Comment from Blaidd Drwg
Exceptional conclusion. You know it's hard for me to decide it this is your best work or not--you have written some truly outstanding poems--but this one is certainly a contender, and perhaps, my favorite. As I said in previous reviews this is magical; not only in the story, but, as always, in your enchanting word choice.
But, what else did you see? Was it even better than that which you have told?

Comment from MissMerri
I waited, and with good reason. Your wonderful story deserves every star I have and then some. I did read all three sections in order, and loved every line. This is perfect in rhythm, rhyme, flow, story content, and has the greatest last line. "But you shall never know what I've concealed." How perfectly that goes with the teasing mystery of fairy magic! I can't imagine anything better than this!

brooke,
this is definitely a lovely end to a most beautiful poem. made me smile. i can see it all. the end must happen even if they don't want it too. BUT for the new couple, beauty is so evident. as well as the work.
LOL what can i say? we've been out of town.
love,
barbara

Comment from samuelbrody
Brooke... Nicely done. I'm giving you the six in reference to all three sections being one poem. You have shown another incredible dimension to your master craftsperson of poetry. This is simply remarkable story telling in verse form. Yet, not just story telling, but also fantasy and whimsical fairy tales. I like it. Michael.

Comment from Sasha
Absolutely beautiful. What more could I possibly say? Yes, I suggest you just put on the broken record and listen to it again. This is one of the best poems you have written. For me, it is definitely my favorite.

Comment from Mischief's Momma
This is a wonderful way to end the triplet of poetry about the woodland fairy wedding. I love the coquettish hint that there is a lingering secret that can never be revealed - great job Brooke.
This was a very enjoyable series :)

Hullo Adewpearl ....
Once more, you have given me a glimpse of life with the Fairies and I enjoyed reading what you have presented us with this time.
There is nothing to suggest changing. I specially like your use of the word 'fay' when speaking of the Fairies.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
With love from ..... Nanette Mary.
