Aww. Sweet. A childlike poem appropriate for little ones but this young at heart adult loves it. If Shakespeare can create fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream, who knows how true they are?

What a wonderful holiday! Fairies are wonderful fanciful creatures. And we certainly need some fantasy in our lives. Your poem is written with lovely magical words. The picture is great, as well! Evi

Who knew there was an International Fairy Day? Of course there should be. Why would there not be one? I think it's a marvelous idea. It for all of us that are young at heart. Thank you for sharing this with us. I enjoyed reading.

    I certainly didn't know the day existed until I saw it on the National Day Calendar.
    Thank you for the excellent review and encouragement. Watch out for those fairies.

I didn't realize there was a National Fairy Day, but I'm all for it. I'll bet Peter Pan was responsible for introducing it. I believe that there are all kinds of spirits around us, and sometimes someone is lucky enough to come in contact with one.

Thank you wjdebi for a perfectly constructed iambic tetrameter in couplets. Flawless! And fun! Do you think 'and' works better than 'to' in the last line of verse 2? That's the only suggestion I can possibly find.
It's your impeccable choice of words which raises this poem higher than most. I will have to give it a six.
Congratulations!
Paul

Hi W J,
I like this little romp into the land of faerie. I choose to agree with you.
There should be a holiday off of work so we can find a place and time to meet these beings. I think a leprechaun put it on the calendar.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great day.
Joan

    Hi Joan,
    A holiday off work--I like it. I had no idea there was in International Fairy Day, but when I saw it I had to write something to celebrate. I'm happy you enjoyed it. Thank you for your thoughts and the fun review.

    You're welcome, Debi. I have always loved fantasy and I choose to believe that most of it is real and not fantasy.

great little poem to celebrate international fairy day. In Korea they are called Tokabi and are like leprechauns, often offering people gifts and playing tricks on the unwarry

Hi friend,
I was so excited to read your delightful poem last night, but waited until this morning to review so I could give it a 6.

It is so well written, and so fun! I loved every word of it!

Hugs,
Rhonda

This poem, International Fairy Day, presented with three AABB-rhymed iambic tetrameter quatrains, allows that this joy of fantasy and fun imaginings has a following enough to make it real.
