Ciao poet.. I gave you your
4th vote!

I found your poem enticing

Affairs of the heart, entanglements, are enticing to follower ...I was not familiar with this play .thanks for the notes.

I was curious so I found a summary on the web too.

The supernatural element .... with fairies interfering and causing confusion makes MidSummer Midnight an exhilarating play.


Mist clouds my vision...

Being in love has that effect and being in love can be a dangerous state ..

Our mind is like in a haze, daze ...Our emotions dictate our actions.

Sometimes we can even fall for someone that doesn't deserve our love ..

LOVE is blind and the haze, mist, euphoria one experiences when loving someone clouds our vision, our judgment and makes us unable to see their faults.


as fairies dance in my head

obviously in reference to Shakespeare's play but it made me think of " there are angels playing with my heart" by the Eurythmics ..



Just have to replace the word Angels with fairies


..what do you think??

Your poem took me on a pleasant journey ..

Thanks so much for your review and fourth vote. At the moment it places me at the top of the podium. Shakespeare likely had many angels in his play. But men at that time played all the female roles. This particular play had fairies (-; Pleased you joined me on our poetic journey.

Thanks for your encouraging review. Likely most poems should stand on their own - without notes or accompanying artwork. But sometimes it helps if there is some expanded interpretation or guidance (-;

Thanks for your encouraging review and stars. 5-7-5 is my typical poem format. Longer verses are not within my poetry wheelhouse. (-;

You are blessed to write poetry. My brain does not go in that direction at all.

Hello, anonymous,

Nice entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt contest. Good syllable count and connection between lines. It flows well. The presentation is pretty. I like the satori line... Midsummer night's dream is one of my favorite.

Gypsy,

So pleased you liked my satori. Years ago, I saw an outdoor, night performance of this play. It was truly a magical experience.

In love with your version of this famous play, I like the colors you choose as well as the association of the mist with the magical fairies. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Iza,

I appreciate your support for this verse and your good wishes. I once saw this play at an outdoor stage, at night. It was truly a magical performance.

Best of luck with this "5-7-5 Prompt entry." My assumption is, you're having a dream in regards to Shakespeare's comedy. Maybe you've read it recently and it still dances in your head. If the title (and last line) refers to that dream, I have no issue. The syllable count is correct and I wish you the best.

Kermit,

Thanks for your encouragement on my contest entry. Many years ago, I saw this play in an outdoor theater at night. It was truly a magical performance. My guess is, at that time, the fairies were dancing in my head (-; Now I can just reflect on that memory.

Rebekka,

THANKS a heap for your glorious review for my contest entry. I remember seeing this play in a summer outdoor theater. It was truly magical.

My pleasure entirely <3

That picture looks a little scary and fairies and fantasy conjure up a magical scene here where we can lose ourselves in the Midsummer Night's Dream, a fine and unusual write, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

THANKS a lot for your review of my contest post. I often use FanArt to accompany my post. But this was the best fairy one I could find. I have used Cleo?s artwork with a number of my posts.
