The October Fairy
Tuesday, September 30, 2008, 10:11 AM [General]
Of the twelve fairies who rule the twelve monthsthe fairy of October is truly unique.Avoiding sunshine and the brightness of daya shadowy home for her spirit she seeks.Her eyes are piercing, and red as bloodas you submit to her hypnotic stare.Grey white skin, gives her a ghostly appearancecontrasting the shade of her pitch-black hair.Her thin flowing dress is light gray and longmade from spiders webs and silks she hand spun.Taking to flight on bat like wingsshe prowls the starry sky till the evening is done.Silent, cool and crisp is the night airthe quiet broken by her boots high heels.Sipping red wine, she relaxes till dawnsavoring the last of an easy hunt's meal.She is neither a witch nor evil, just a child of Noxbut still one you would do well not to offend.Be found alone on some night and respect her notand see what night things to you she will send.

The Fall Fairy

Crunching beneath a high heeled shoethe falling leaves blanket her way.Ushering in the instincts of those who will goand prepairing the remainder that stay.In a glorious display the colors are changedjust before all must shed of there leaves.Both great and small take notice to the signsbirds migrate departing the bare trees.Cool grows the air as it strokes her red maneand blows her dress of seasons shade.The fairy of fall observes the harvest come infeeling at peace as the warm gently fades.Silken wings made like the scattered leavescamouflage this maiden of thanksgiving.And from the fruits of labor she ushers inthe gifts of fullness and joy found in one's living.

Another Susan Schroder inspired poem. Her piece called The ghost and the fairy must be seen. This may not exactly fit the title but the picture brought this to my bent mind. Her and Tommy did such a marvelous job I just could not help my self. Great work guys!!!
Echoes dance from canyon walls to a chorus fading song.In melody she sings of the one that her heart forever longs.Each word is of a cherished life that to her is still so real.Love filled notes she sings aloud for all to also feel.Forever has a price to pay pain marks the passing time.A plea for him again to hold is begged in every rhyme.The hurt left by a broken heart that eternally beats for two.A sad reminder of the life that her spirit had once knew.Born from dreams she lives alone till quiet night times sleep.And for that time, again there one, a time that's there's to keep.But then comes the morning light his spirit leaves this land.Love's last touch before he goes from an angel's silken hand.

Against a large tree sat a tired little elf.Facing the road he spoke loudly out to him self.He worked for the Troll Brothers Construction Company.As a realtor of renovated homes and available property.Along side the elf the fairy quietly stood.She was a stranger to town and new to the neighborhood.She heard the elf cry, "If it was only facing the stream,""Then the owl would have bought it sight unseen.""Oh, and if it wasn't so far and so extremely high.""Or if I only knew how to teach a gnome to fly.""And of course of course it's too big for a bumble bee."A tiny voice spoke up, "But I think it would be perfect for me."The elf collected himself, seeing her like it was the first time.She said, "Facing away from the stream, the size and height are just fine."The elf said, "It's yours, and I hope its exactly as it may seem."The fairy asked, "For payment do you accept wishes, hopes and dreams?"The elf said, "Of course, just make them out to me,""In care of the Troll Brothers Construction Company.""I don't know why," the fairy said, "no body wanted this place.""But miss you are the first," the elf said with a big smile on his face.The fairy said, "But what of all the troubles you've had on this home?"'It's exactly the kind of place a fairy would love to own."The elf said, "I know that's why I spoke so loud.""First rule of business, it don't pay to be proud.""When I saw this tree deep down I knew,""It was meant for a fairy and then I saw you.""Please don't think you were fooled and tricked.""I relied on your seeing the good in everything instinct.""One final thing our exclusive one year guarantee.""Enjoy your new home from the troll Brothers Construction Company."

Tooth Fairies Last Night

I was reminded of this poem I wrote a couple of years ago when I saw Isabella's fantastic shadow puppet. Her work is exceptional if you get the chance check out her site.
Before the darkness of the sky grows lightAnd things in shadows come in to sightUnder your pillow you'll seeAnd for a second think of meAnd feel what I am feeling this last night.A sprinkle of magic and money so smallI have come because of your special callBut your last gift of growingAnd your replacing dreams for knowingYou can't help it your older and that is all.Oh small and beautiful one as youTo see all things around as newThe world is not what it may seemMagic disappears as a dreamYour wishes will change and your interests will too.My spirit is happy as well as sadFor I think back at the times we have hadAs you mature you'll move on In that way I'll be goneBut in the order of things it's not so bad.The time has come for you to face what is realBut before I leave a small tooth I must stealIt will soon be daySo I must be on my wayIn parting it is your heart I shall forever feelTags:
