Excellent poetry for fantasy poems. I could feel the mood of delicate joy. I especially liked picture that is perfect.
These metaphors my favorites:
tinkling voices
Naiads slide down rainbow beams
Dancing droplets sweetly shower ,
moonbeams glimmer

Thanks for your kind words. It is a bit of a struggle for an old greybeard like me to recall childish wonder...

This is very well written in the "Shades of Brooke." I enjoyed reading and was carried away with your imagery. Your poem has a smooth flow of words, making for an easy read.

Thanks Barbara
Butterflies may be prettier, but bumblebees have more strike-power!

Well crafted quatrains and agile couplets, kiwi....!!
Even before the second stanza, I felt of Shakespeare's mischief makers, running around in the magic-wrapped lunar light and bieng good naughty!
Light and lively, teasing midnight imagination with all the silvery creatures and giddy humans!
Thanks for widening our horizon with a stellar walk across the glittered park, kiwi s!

Thanks for the kind words.
The poem grew in prettiness the further it went. I'm glad you enjoyed this journey through my imagination.

So glad I had a six available for this one, Steve. It reads like one of Eugene Field's fantasy romps. The meter is flawless and every rhyme fits perfectly. I've never seen this kind of poem (including E.F.'s) rendered any better.

High praise! Thank you.
I have to confess I had to google Eugene Field - he has an unusual style - I shall delve further - still on wynken, Blynken and Nod at the moment!
Thanks again
Steve

Hi kiwisteveh,
Your poem took me on a magical journey as your wonderful descriptions made it all come alive. Excellent writing, strong rhymes and beautiful cadence. Wonderful alliteration as well. "where fairies ride on bumblebees" great visuals! Only problem was it ended and I had to come back.
Great job, best wishes

Yes, I didn't want it to end either! However, I had run out of fairy types to use!
Thanks for the kind review

Very nicely done Kiwi. Touched a soft spot in my heart with the Midsummer Nights Dream references. One of my favorite plays especially the more current version with Michele Pfeiffer and Kevin Kline. Good job.

Thank you - I would watch anything with Kevin Klein - he is a marvellous actor - Life as a House is one of my fav movies of all time.
