This deserves a six as the flow and sharp meaning of the words almost echoed within me as the tale rang within me and at the end I saw the work of the fairies as 'new light appear.' A marvelous sweet treat of your poetic talent. Well done, Brooke.

Wow. And wow again. I LOVE this. I love anyting to do with faires and fairy stories - I was raised on them. :)
Wonderful magical story. I love the battle between light and dark, the way you include the animals, the preparations for battle against the approaching doom. Fairy dust, of course, fixes everything! :)
'In the heart of tangled timbers' is my favourite line. What a magical way to describe a forest.
A pleasure, Brooke.

Comment from Eternal Muse
A delightful tale of the Fernwood Fairies, Brooke, laced with so much imagination and fairy essence.
Transplanted me to the wonderful life that perhaps exists somewhere, even in fairy tales.
A fantastic picture to go with the poem. Delightful rhyming and flow, as usual.
A pleasure to read this morning.

Brooke, I edited my review, once I got on a real computer. Sorry, my friend. Cell phone web is not the best; can't use home computer as it caught a virus.

A good, imaginable poem about fairies, & even though we can't see them, I think to some of us, they are present in our minds, hoping that such occurrences, even consider to be fantasies, do occur And, it helps us to daydream, & escape what reality can put us through on a daily basis.

Brooke, this is a lovely poem for the 'Story' contest. I've been looking at it for some time and can see a couple of ways in which it is different from your usual offerings.
Firstly there is the mixed meter which threw me a little - I couldn't get it to flow quite as naturally as I wanted, although it got better with a couple of readings.
Then there was the fact that there is no 'hero' to your tale (not a named one anyway) and the villain of the piece is also rather vague. I'm not sure if this is a weakness, but it does remove some of the personal feeling from the poem.
Lots of lovely alliteration: tangled timvers, Fairies of fernwood Forest etc and some beautiful descriptive phrases too.
Good luck.
Steve

Hey Brooke. Yet another aspect to your pen. Great through line and allit as always. So many poets invite us on the journey but don't resolve the premise. You always do. DJ

Comment from Lighthouse Keeper
As always...a brilliant. Really enjoyed this fairy tale. A bit less smooth than your usual work but is has the ring of an older time and in that sense it works as it is. Well done, again.

Comment from Razz
So wonderfully expressed, Brooke.
So magical.
Great imagery.
Rhyme is perfectly on time.
Another beauty.
This just hit me in the right spot:
In the midst of this wooded kingdom,
in this place where the streams ran clear,
came a day when the world met danger,
and the bright became tinged with fear.
I loved it...all of it.
Could almost sing it.
Have a restful evening.
