There's magic in fairy tales, and the elegance in your writing shows how you admire the mystery in that fairy dust. Like how each stanza ends with "Deep magic dwells in fairy dust." Great job. Les

An elegant poem based on a real belief in things magical as a "Golden Angel" or the gift of a fairy in a world of poetic thought. Lovely poetics - rhyme, rhythm and message.

As a child and that was so long ago I can't remember, my mother took me to see a production of J.M.Barrie's Peter Pan and for years kept embarrassing me by telling my friends how I ran down the Isle encouraging the other kids to cheer in order to revive the dying Tinkerbell.

So you see even a 73 year old ex Royal Marine Commando can have a soft spot for fairies. I loved your easy flowing well written poem and thought it quite beautiful as it reminded me of the story I have just told as well as of my mum dead these 24 years. Thank you

    Thank you for the kind words about the writing and for sharing how it touched you.

    What a wonderful story. I am sure as a teenager you found it most embarrassing for your mum to tell that story, but now it gives you a fond memory. I am happy this poem reminded you of your mum.

    I do believe in fairies. I do believe in fairies. I do believe in fairies...

Hi Debi this is a beautifully written Kyrielle. Charming words and the repeated lines are well placed and do not sound at all contrived to meet the requirements of this poetry form. A lovely poem with good rhyming couplets and a lovely read. Warm regards Dorothy x

This is very good, author. It's a wonderful topic and I found the repeat line really reminded of the magic of those stories from long ago. You capture the spirit of the ancient lore, the fairy tales and folk stories that have given rise to so many of our modern ways of thinking and even our narratives of teh present. Your aabb, iambic tetrameter quatrains are skillfully developed and they work well with repeated line to create a mystical sense of time. Very enjoyable.
