I believe in fairies! I dedicate this poem to Haley.


Poem Artwork

Seen from the corner of my eye
At first I thought a dragonfly
With humming wings pale shade of blue
My heart filled with joy at the view

My shoulder was its landing spot
Upon inspection it was not
A dragonfly but fairie be
Then hovered near my ear did she

She whispered softly in my ear
"Beware of what's ahead, my dear."
Then danced around my head awhile
So dainty fair she made me smile

This tiny prophet then away
Flew she and I then made my way
Along the path I loved to stroll
Came then upon moss covered knoll

Winds soon began and growing strong
Knew that I must quick move along
Branches began to fall so I
Sought shelter in a cave nearby

So dark and dreary was this tomb
Looking behind me two eyes loomed
Blood red they seemed and coming near
Ran I from that cave filled with fear

Remembering the fairie's tale
Ran I rather to face the gale
Than seek shelter within that cave
Heeding the words the fairie gave

Finding myself at home at last
A (dragonfly?) my window passed
Surely I saw (it?) wink at me
Thankful to her forever be

Next time you see a (dragonfly?)
Look twice and listen as did I
Shape shifting beings of light blue hue
Came once to me may come to you

Perfect! I love it! It has a sing-song quality. I still prefer poems that rhyme. This one drew me into its blue snare.

That brain injury did you good. I'd worry a bit about talking to little things on your shoulder. But, hallucinations are a good thing when they help you come up with a story.

On a long ago forgotten trail, there was a tree with long slender branches that gracefully touched the ground. You hade to move the branches aside to continue on the trail. Once under the tree, it was a most magical place. There was a stone wall you sit on. It was like sitting under an umbrella of branches. I would take my granddaughters thwere, and told them it was a fairie tree. We would sit there under this tree, and watch the fairies fly from leaf to leaf and dance for us. Those are magical memories for us.

Such a delightful "fairy" tale, Jane. As you know, I believe in magic and fairies; I am a big fan of Alice in her Wonderland. Thank you for sharing. Love and best wishes,

Regis

Utterly charming, my dear. I am a classic poet and therefore appreciate the discipline of such rhythm and rhyme that maintains its integrity throughout the poem. One of your better achievements, I dare say. Enjoyed this from start to finish. Is it over? I want more. John

Over the years, especially those two wasted decades, I have averted what would have been very bad news to me. I didn't see my fairie, but I always knew she was around.
