Comment from JanPerry
Nicely blended together with the lights. I have never don't a sonnet here, but
appreciate all the hard work to get one right. Charming, or beguiling lights.
The repeat at the end is useful, to reiterate the description.
Im not sure what the trap is. Or why they trap us.
Lovely poem.

Thank you for the kind comments about the writing. The subject is based on the ancient fairy tales where faeries play tricks on humans merely for their own amusement. The trap can be anything they want. Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" has such faeries playing tricks.
Comment from Benny Beeharry
Some people put in other war, there is a serpent under the flower. Bot the lights and the flowers are attractive. We are human and we are attracted by glitters...all the traps of the senses.. The wring and the impressive repetitions are easy to read and understand, as the one message flows down to the next.
Take care.

Comment from gypsymoth
Excellent work of incorporating the forms used. Children in the U.S.
are not well acquainted with the types of sprites and brownies.
I guess that's because the tales were not carried on through the last few generations. Pity, I think it gave them something to imagine, good or impish.

Hi Gypsymoth,
I do like the old fairy tales, but I think you are right they don't seem to be told any more. It is a pity. So often they could scare and delight, all while giving a good lesson on life.
Thank you for the great review and your insights. Debi

Thank you for the great review. I appreciate the encouragement. It's been a while since I wrote about fairies and they just wouldn't go away until I did. I hope you got caught up on some sleep, but don't overdo like old Rip did.

Debi;
-What a wonderful way to share such a beautiful poem that is written in a Pantoum format. The beauty of your imagery that suggests fairy lights as such an awesome piece of writing. And the picture that you used, to suggest the relativity and to complement your poem is excellent.
-The imagery is sound, distinct and clear. And exquisitely expressive and vividly and demonstratively descriptive throughout.
-Give your rhyming words are contingent to the meaning and concept of each line therefore making your rhythm to flow smoothly. Being that your rhyming was neither forced nor labored was also very helpful in making your rhythm flow Smoothly.
-Your rhythmic meter being iambic pentameter was very helpful along with your cadence, timing and tempo to make your reading clear, fluid and easy.
-Very good use of Enjambment which is the running on of a thought and concepts one's hands and mind to the next without a syntactical break.
-The way you handle this type of poetry in this format seems so simple to read but I find it also to be very difficult to write and you did an excellent Job in converting this type of poetry to make you read and sound so easy.
-Thank you for sharing and posting and may the good Lord be with you forever.

Thank you for the very kind comments, Alex. It is a great compliment to hear that the the verse appears simple and is easy to understand. My Father often says that a true professional makes what they are doing look easy especially when it isn't. I think I will be smiling all night.

Never follow the Will 'O The Wisp. It will lead you astray every time. If one ends up in their Faery land they may never be seen again.

Ooo, thank you for the warning. I have heard that the Will 'O The Wisp is not to be trusted and that people disappear. Sounds like you got my meaning. Thank you.
Comment from Eigle Rull
This poem is very well written and tells twinkling lights and wicked sprites. It was interesting and I enjoyed reading it because of the way it was put together. It held my attention. Very nicely done, my friend.
Always with respect,

Thank you for the great review, Jax. Since it is not an English Sonnet I am not sure it qualified for the contest, but I appreciate the thought. Debi
Comment from Jay Squires
I must say I admire you for accepting the challenge of an added difficulty over the already stringent requirements of the sonnet.
The meter was fine, though I had a tad problem with the rhyming of "adore" and "sure". I find myself pronouncing "sure" "shore", which gives it an unwanted "hickish" quality.
Other than that, your poem was quite enjoyable.

Thank you for the helpful and encouraging comments. I am glad you found it enjoyable.
LOL Maybe I should drop "sure" from my vocabulary. It is so easy for it to sound "valley girl" or "hick".
