This work has reached the exceptional level

definitely a muse of a fantasy garden of sorts. It could have derived from a dream which we have long forgotten upon waking up ages ago. perhaps, we are all still in that dream where the forest comes alive and make a fantasy world for all of us to live in.
This sonnet write is different it does have a favored taste and soon we will hear the 'laughter from the knell too, perhaps?" LOL.
Great imaginative take a creative mind and for Tom, this is no barrier at all. Wish I was in this fantasy forest to find my muse, smiles.
Cheerio and a very good fantasy write - unusual and appealing too.
Ritchie.

P.S. My last sixers and still I wanted to taste for more - if not, I will definitely head for the laughter in the knell, smiles!

I enjoyed reading your poem, although there was a tiny chill that came upon these old bones..but then the poem lived up to its name.."A little Fantasy..I loved the words you used to make this into a very pleasant read..I'll have to say this was a wonderful example of a Sonnet without rhyme..
Thanks for sharing, it was a pleasure.
Warmly,
Victoria

Hi Treischel,
When your artwork loaded it scared me!
Great sonnet and fantasy work. I loved it, especially the ending.
Wasn't expecting that but it works well with your theme. As always well penned and a delight to read. You make sonnets look easy. Wonderful imagery throughout.

Did you hear about the fairy remains found??? I'll PM you the link - it was a fascinating discovery.
Thanks for sharing my friend.
Maureen

What a mystical, magical frolicking tale you've told here. I wish things this wonderfully written would just "pop out of me." More often than not, that's far from the case.
I could see the little pixie behind the knell laughing as the protagonist fell. I could smell the pines and the tangy mint of the candy cane. This was such a refreshing read.
Bravo!

Oh dear, how awful. Was it poison or was it a rancid candy cane leftover from a Christmas tree? =} This is well done, the art work is great. I don't really, well truthfully I know nothing about this type of poetry. My are all wonky and I'm just happy if they rhyme. This is way beyond me, but I like it and think it's very good. Rox

The wonder of what is, the poetic storytelling. The picture and creative imagination of spookyness, thrill, and excitement. Excellent work.
