Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is a very well-written, entertaining acrostic poem. The rhyming and meter are effective touches. I like the clever turn the poem takes--cautioning what will happen to the not-so-nice! :-)

Thank you for the lovely review, Janice -- Watch out for those fairies...temperamental lil' ones, they are!!
Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
I like this. It's a type of reading and movies that I've enjoyed for quite some time. They would do harm or good with those pesky wands, depending on there moods. I enjoyed reading this well written fantasy work you've presented here. Well done!

Excellent excellent entry for the acrostic contest! I would give you six stars if I had it for your creativity. I'm guessing I know who wrote this gem. Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Michele Harber
I love this! I think you did a brilliant job of telling a story using, but not hampered by, the Acrostic format. The story completely fit the word chosen, and bringing it back to that word in the last line, in the way that you did, was ingenious. That you did all that and still made it rhyme just adds to the impressiveness. Good luck in the contest.

Sooooo, this was such a welcome smile to come home to -- thank you so very much for your awesome comments and those bright stars!! You have made my day....and that's really not an exaggeration -- would've liked to have used the 'Abracadabra!" a number of times throughout the course of the day - ha!! Thank you again and have a great evening!!!

You absolutely deserve the praise and the stars, and I'm glad I was able to make your day. Your poem has been leading the competition from the start, and deservedly so - and this is from someone entered in the contest!
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written acrostic poem about the magic we knew as children where the magician says abracadabra and things disappear or appear and we could not understand how they got it done.

Comment from Aiona
Oh so cute! I love this acrostic. Very smooth and clever use of the acrostic letters. I think that's the way it's supposed to be, right? You're not supposed to really notice that it is an acrostic. It's just a clever rhyming poem that evokes imagery of magic!

Comment from nomi338
Now you have made me afraid. I admit that I am somewhat of a wise guy. I often say naughty things when I should not and I may have already offended some wand wielding magician who is as at this very moment cooking up some awesome consequence for my inappropriate action. Yikes.
I love the poem and the acrostic is perfect.

Comment from Iza Deleanu
Acrostic and rhyme in one glimpse, this is quite an achievement. Fairy tale and magic, what a treat! I like the beginning :"Along the road not far from here
Beyond the edge of here and now,
Reality's veil is torn in two
And magic lives in there somehow.
Close by, you'll find the fairy guild
And it's to them you must appeal,
Do not get smart or loose your tongue." Good luck with your writing and the contest.

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
The fairy's wand works wonders. I like your image of the wand. And the thought that nursery rhymes bring magic. We can still be young at heart and remember the old nursey rhymes of yesteryear. Our children loved them.
