Right up my street. I love the magic of fantasy even if not a full bloodied fable. A lovely write. Good alliteration. Good flowing movement throughout.
Nice write.
Best wishes,
RGstar

Umm? ...I wonder, do you talk in rhythm all the time? LOL
I think you must, to write so many perfectly metered poems, Brooke :)
Loving the theme of fairies (of course!)
And the positive message in the ending.
Lovely ~ Cally :)

Thanks so much, Cally - I used to worry that would happen when my kids were little and I would spend hours reading children's books to them. LOL :-) Brooke
Comment from MissMerri
A fascinating and well-told tale indeed, and if one were so inclined, there is much that can be read into your words as well... Symbolically I mean. I enjoyed the poem-story immensely and as so often happens with your work, I couldn't help picturing this in book form with beautiful pictures on every page. I hope some day I will be able to buy your books on Amazon. ;"). Please hurry. I'm growing old.

Comment from Robin Gilmor
This would make a lovely picture book. I love the flow of the stanzas from one to the next and how you kept the story line throughout. Cut each stanza in two on facing pages with title page, dedication and copyright for 26 pages. It's the perfect length for a book. Smiles, how you are loving the autumn, I am. Robin :)

Comment from Linda England Bonam
What a fantastic little story you wrote here, Brooke!
Loved reading it. It is a little longer than most of
them you write, and I was happy for that in this one!!! Very enjoyable.

Comment from N.K. Wagner
A fantasy of hope and determination, Brooke. Your rhyme and rhythm are perfect. You're repeated congregation/congregate 3 times, which is going to draw comment (not me - I don't have a better idea). One minor glitch:
where the toad stools grow ten feet tall, - toadstool is one word.
Excellent story arc. Well done. :) Nancy

I liked this little fairy tale. You took gloom and doom and turned into bright and light. It reminded me of the saying that it was darkest just before the light. Thanks for reminding me during a trying time.

Dear Brooke
Your story poem is so well-written and is full of captivating imagery, has excellent rhyme, an interesting rhythm, good flow with many nice touches of alliteration throughout, and ends with a message to ponder. This would be an excellent contest entry! Lovely complementary photo :)
God bless,
Christine

Comment from Donya Quijote
Me likes, beaucoup! A wonder story in a poem that is very much full of hope. Nice way to explore the old adage that tomorrow is gonna be a better day. It will be, and most certainly will be when faeries fill the sky with light and chase away the evil dark.
Your poem has a songish feel about. I can imagine a good folk singer with just an acoustic guitar singing this. I wish I some talent 'cause this poem is one of many I would like to transpose to music. It also very fluid like a bubbling brook that gently trips over rocks and stone. Love the description of the imaginary place. So very peaceful. Another pleasant read...
