Comment from MJMuraco
It certainly must be a challenge to write a poem with such strict syllable count. I can understand why it took a few hours. Your poem is lovely and full of fantasy.

Oh, Brooke, I love the image of tiny fairies riding in a caravan of snails. How delightful. I look forward to the remaining additions to Woodland Secrets.

This so reminds me of Alice in Wonderland! You must have amazing dreams, Brooke - are you sure you pick the good mushrooms, not the naughty ones? lol This is a magical beginning to a story I'm looking forward to....:)

Adele, thank you - you are most kind, and actually, my dreams are usually surreal and negative. I don't like ANY mushrooms. LOL Brooke
Comment from tonydem
This promises to be a quaint little series of fairytale-like poems. This one is very clever. Fairies using snails as taxis to go to a wedding. But you didn't here it from me. Shhhh!

Comment from Joan E.
A double in its having parts and in combining the difficult form with one of your daughter's favorite themes. You have really established a challenge for yourself. What a marvelous image this "caravan of snails" going to a fairy wedding! Your imagination and muse are working overtime. Have fun and take your time; my patience is without limits for this extraordinary project.

What a gorgeous little poem. Such delightful imagery. I can just see the scene unfolding before me. I can't see what you do with the rest of it. Well done.

Comment from honeytree
Wonderful words and picture. The writer's imagination here is superb and the art work was very telling. I loved the descriptive words and the imagery within this poem. I loved the mentioning of snails and how creative these words were telling about the snails.
Great writing.

Comment from Dave M
Brooke,
This is an excellent start to a story in rhyme. As poetry, your two stanzas are flawless. Even better, the gnarled oak tree and the fairies riding in state on snails paint a delightful picture.
I'm looking forward to the next installment.
