Your amazing poetry is certainly worth waiting for, dear Brooke. I loved this, and was strongly inclined to award it my last six, but decided to wait to see the rest of the story and rate the whole. (No promises, :) Just have to wait and see. ) So far it is truly outstanding and beautiful. I enjoyed every word!

As usual, this is very well written with a good rhyming scheme. You have set the stage perfectly. There is very good imagery and descriptive scheme.

Hmmm, a fairy wedding? Well, that could be interesting. I like how their riding snails, gives a good idea of just how tiny these creatures are. ;) Nice job!

I like the idea of posting it in sections, it builds suspense! This is another delightful and whimsical poem, your rythm and meter are perfect, and the imagery is like a film before my eyes......and what a photograph! Beautiful.

Mum's the word! Love the idea of fairies riding on the backs of snails- -a caravan of them no less- -paints a sweet picture in the mind of the reader. And wouldn't you know you would have spied this while picking bluebells in the dell. Can't leave out those wildflowers.

So well written. A story with an inviting beginning- -wouldn't children love this. A perfect write that begs for illustration.

Thank you, Brooke for your lovely talent. I'll be waiting for the continuation. RoS

This sounds like a lovely piece so far. I can see the little fairies riding those little slow slugs. This shows a great imagination on your part.
