This is an interesting format dear jeni! It also seems really hard to do. But I think you did an amazing job using beautiful mythical elements with a tongue firmly placed on cheek attitude.
Thanks for sharing!
Blessings!

I am not familiar with this form and had a little difficult time following the rules so I just let go and enjoyed the piece instead. Nice and light and easy to read when I was not trying to dissect it.lol

I'm glad you enjoyed, barb. Sometimes I include too much of the form requirements and it gets one's head dizzy trying to figure it out. So you just sat back and relaxed. Super. Have a great day!

Comment from Lu Saluna
This is very pretty. I love the alliteration. This poem is very magical and enchanting. I like reading fantasy writing.
"A dozen demure fairies flying
'round moon most misty nights, singing and laughing."
I really love the first two lines, it just sounds like so much fun!

Comment from mvbrooks
I think a good evaluation of whether these "specific syllable" poems are effective is:
--on the first read--it reads smoothly, unforced, and clear
--on the second read you count syllables and are impressed that it meets that standard too.
In this case--you've met both standards. Well done.

Thank you, I'm glad that it sounded unforced to you and also that you counted the syllables to check up on me. I ofttimes make a mistake and a reader lets me know it. So thank you for that.
Always,
Jeni *smile*

Comment from estory
you do so much of these fairy poems and for me they are a little too fluffy. I wonder if you have read any of Yeats' early poetry, from his first books, Crossways and The Rose. While Yeats was growing up, he was fascinated with his grandmother's tales of Irish myths and legends, stories of the Sidhe people, the faeries, and this formed a part of his subject matter while he was in his early twenties. Check out The Stolen Child from Crossways, Fergus and the Druid, Cuchulain's Fight with the Sea, A Faery Song and Who Goes With Fergus from The Rose, The Hosting of the Sidhe, The Host of the Air, The Unappeasable Host from The Wind in the Reeds and The Phases of the Moon and The Cat and the Moon from Wild Swans at Coole. Might give you some ideas estory

I know, estory, you hate fluffy as you are a minimalist. I will check out some of the titles you suggested, as I'm pure bred Irish I love old Celtic tales.
Thanks for the ideas!
peace,

Yeats draws much material from Irish legend and myth, and in his poems, faeries are sometimes sinister, and bring pain as well as escape to mortals. it is a different, more complicated interpretation of faeries than the world of Andrew Lang, which Tolkien debunked in his essay Tree and Leaf from the Tolkien Reader. I would suggest you read that as well. Faeries are not just those dimunitive pretty ballerinas sitting in flowers. they, like mankind, have a dark side estory

That IS a thought, dip. I'll have to put that one under consideration. Yes, being around here you're sure to be exposed to a new style of poetry every day.
