Stories / Stories / Stephanie Rennolds / Text 6 of 7 / Fae Child**

"Fae Child**" by Stephanie Rennolds

SciFi/Fantasy text 6 out of 7 by Stephanie Rennolds. ←Previous - Next→

Poem for Marijke - she's such a dear, and I gave ehr a comment for the wonderful birthday comment she left me. ^_^ Not exactly what she asked for, though.

←- Reflections* | Repeating Myself * -→

A child of the Faeries true

Once danced within a ring

Of white and red and grey mushrooms

Until the mockingbird did sing

It stole her from her sweet, gay dance

And she in its claws did lift

Giving the ring not a second glance

Into the sky they flew so swift

Her gossamer wings crushed painfully close

The girl did scream, the girl did cry

But the bird would not release its hold

On the dying Fae as he flew up high

The Raven she did hear the cries

Or pain, of misery, of woe

And took to wing into the skies

To rescue the child from below

At the cry of the Raven

The mockingbird did then release

The little Fae to find a haven

And soon the battling did cease

And so the Faerie mothers do say

Be careful, don’t let her fate repeat

Watch closely for wings of grey

And you will become truly elite

23 Jun 2005	C. 'Liari' Seidel	Loading... Definately interstring. I like the images a lot, though you might want to check on a few of your words. ("or" instead of "of") I liked it!Vy sank oo, yur lurvlinuss. [chuckles] Glad you liked.
29 Jul 2005	D Joelle Duran	Loading... Poor little child =( But I was happy to see the Raven be the 'good guy.' They get picked on too much, and vultures too. =)[nods] Yup. Thanks for reading!
6 Aug 2005	B. Layne Weaver	Loading... [grins] what's this? a poem from the girl who hates to read poems? ^_~ Good job for a first poem! I agree with the above comments, just practice and watch out for your rhythm and meter (not that i'm any good at that, but hey ^_^)Yes, a poem from her. I don't like reading poems, but writing them... [shrugs] Meh, only if I just type do the rhymes come out right. ^_^; And I have a new character to run by your place. She jumped out of my pencil in five minutes, but she's very unique...
28 Dec 2005	Larry N. Morris	Loading... I arrived here by riding a linkie from Sir Tom o' the Brits. Hmmm...that might be a good title for a poem or a story, wot? I really like this poem. It is very descriptive. I, too, am new to writing poems. Have a peek sometime.Oh goodness me...AI, that I shall... once I return! But I never forget! No matter how long it takes me, I do eventually get around to reading. Thankiesmuchly!
3 Oct 2006	Emelie 'Emmy' Thordelöf	Loading... Hm.. this is going to make me feel silly since I won't write such a long comment. Anyhoo I liked the poem It's ehm.. geeh I guess I can't find the right word but I DO like this poem Stephanie Rennolds replies: "[twitches] This poem still plagues me."
4 Oct 2006	Emelie 'Emmy' Thordelöf	Loading... You really don't have to if you don't wanna but it's really okay if you really need to ^^I'm just saying, if you'd like a story, just tell me what you'd like and I'll try! [likes writing for people]
12 Nov 2006	Dragonflies2	Loading... aww! i really like this! the first verse..or is stanza? hmm...well the first bit just has beautiful imagery, and the las verse/stanza is fantastic too. i'm not usually a fan of poems, but sweet little ones like this make me smile ^_^ oh um..'Or pain, of misery, of woe' is the or meant to be of? though you could hear pain...i wasn't sure...sorry.[big grin] THank you! I hate my poems, they always read horribly. [hugs] And it was supposed to be of.
15 Feb 2007	Désirée Dippenaar	Loading... Oooh! Nice, sweet poem! And just short enough for someone naughty like me being distracted from German homework... I quite liked this poem, the way you brought in the traditional mushroom ring and how you made the little 'message' thing at the end. ^^ I still like your stories better, but for a first poem this is really good~ Far better than my first Ish not really my first, but my others don't really have stories. They're more like... song lyrics without a song.
9 Apr 2007	Sarah-amy haley	Loading... Tis a good poem. I likes it.bwah!
