I love your fairy poems and this one is no exception. It is playful and bounces along. Reading this was such a great way to start the day. Rose.

Moments of fantasy are sometimes what makes a day bearable and sometimes what makes a day exceptional. Great job, from picture chosen through the last words written,. ann

Comment from DecrepitOldBag
This is another of your great fairy poems, Brooke. I'll bet Miranda loves it too. The rhyme scheme is just great. Do I describe these verses as 'quatrains'? I'm not sure. In any event, they are splendid. I have a vivid mental picture of you with fairies fluttering about your head and a big, broad smile! LOL
Hugs

Thanks so much, Kat - all the fairies are for Miranda :-) And yes, quatrains are just four line verses. Brooke :-)

Dear Brooke,
I hardly dare ask this question, but did they appear before, during or after the first gin and tonic. They do tend to get brighter as the evening wears on :<)
Lovely poem and of course, immaculate execution.
Regards
Reg

Comment from Lady & Louis
I like the collection of words all relating to quivering and shimmering in this, Brooke - the fairies' movements and your response. Made me think of a dragonfly's wings in the sun (preferably without being et by a bird, like the last one I saw!)

It is not a pattern I use, Sam - it's good to explore new styles : -) Thanks so much. Brooke

Agreed. Gets boring sticking to the same style. Hope you are well-
Comment from Peter@Poole
Lovely for imagery, fantasy and alliteration, Brooke. It seems to me that these three stanzas, rhyming a/a/a/a then b/b/b/b and c/c/c/c, are actually tanagas. I respectfully suggest that you alter the first word in the penultimate line of stanza three to 'though' in order to leave only one one 'why', while creating alliteration in 'th' to compensate. Peter :)

Comment from Fleedleflump
My soul was lightened by their display,
a million miles from work's dismay,
and so I followed the rods to their home
amongst the poems of bedrock and stone
that make the foundations of literature,
and books full of language's glee.
I nestle now down in the blankets of vowels,
until words are all I see,
a life of pure fantasy.

Comment from Adri7enne
Aren't you lucky! What kind of tea do you drink? LOL! I've always wanted to see a fairy. This is so cute, Brooke. Oh, to be so timy and magical for just one day. I dig the costumes, too.
Love the way each quatrain has the same rhyme all the way. Neat!
