A lovely poem with a sense of magical delight in the world. And there are those who avoid seeing the beauty in creation and miss out in all the joys of "fairy wings."

Thank you so much Helen, I guess it was a statement and a question, lol.
Comment from Liz O'Neill
This is playful, yet affirming. There may be some readers who have doubts about some of their beliefs for fear of being criticized. How can anyone criticize us for our belief. They can try to get us to change them. But it is useless to criticize. It just makes us hold onto them tighter. I was just recently reminded of how the Native children stolen from their families were told they could not keep their belief. This is a good topic you chose.

You can indeed!! You can be free to have your own beliefs because you can tap into the freedom of your thoughts and imagination, to write a lovely poem like this to show us those beliefs.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about the choice of what you can and will do against what others say you should or should not do. We are all unique and are able to make our own choices.

You would have no trouble in believing the cute little gnome. He is one of our politicians called Michael Gove. Like all gnomes he looks cute but his policies are are very different matter.

Thanks for reviewing, wow someone who looks like a gnome, but then again if he is a politician, well enough said.
Comment from Janetsue
This is a very interesting free verse about free will. It flows well and offers good imagery. I like the question the reader is left with at the conclusion.
Of course, the answer is yes!
