The Butterfly Ball - Jo Riche2009©Northampton UK

June 12th, 2009

Come to the Butterfly ball,
And dance in the moonlit hall,
Under the trees,
With the birds and the bees,
With the fairies for you to enthral.

They’ll cast down their light from the skies,
It will sparkle and dazzle your eyes,
You’ll see them all there,
Afloat in the air,
With their magic that none can deny.

Sit in the magic light circle,
Upon soft petals of purple,
Twirl in the breeze,
Drink honeydew mead,
Upon the back of a turtle.

The Pixies and elves will be there,
They’ll run round your toes without care,
They’ll sing and they’ll dance,
In a midsummer’s trance,
And each will have mischief to share.

So come to the butterfly ball,
Just follow the great waterfall,
By the rainbows end,
Were the silver brook bends,
Where the nightingale sings out her call.

The Fairy that could not fly. - Joannda Riche2009©Northampton UK

June 12th, 2009

I lost my wings one sad bleak day,
The prince bull frog pulled them away,
I wept a million crystal tears,
And sat alone for many years.

My Fairy friends would flit by,
And shake their heads and gently sign,
And there amongst the wooded ground,
My heart did break, and did not pound.

I often looked towards the stars,
And wished that I could fly that far,
My only settler below the trees,
They offered me their fallen leaves.

Old Jack Frost would often nip me,
Upon the ground undoable to flee,
The woodland creatures scuttled by,
And asked me “why I could not fly?”

The prince bull frog passed by one day,
“why had he taken my wings away?”
He looked at me with a scornful frown,
He’d given them to another in exchange for a crown.

Now the woodland creatures and trees so tall,
Were very wise and they did call,
They told me I should not despair,
For they knew of a magic that was everywhere.

And so with their guidance, I began to learn,
The sacred magic with in the fern,
And seedlings I did sow and tender,
Until they grew out, flowers in splendour.

The prince bull frog caught sight one day,
of all the flowers and he did say,
“for all the flowers I will give,
This golden  crown upon my head”

I turned to him with an arrogant eye,
“you leave the flowers, from here be gone,
You took my wings so long ago,
You are no friend, you are my foe”

The prince bull frog was angered by this,
For his golden crown, who could resist,
And he left that day and went on his way,
And sat all alone in his pond.

The creatures and trees were all very pleased,
That I had not plucked the flowers.
They gathered me in and begun to spin,
The most beautiful pair of wings.

Form petals and leaves, and silk golden thread,
A magnificent crown they made for my head.
And there on the ground, my heart it did pound,
And I flew away with the wind.

Now the prince bull frog, sat in his pond and got old,
And when he was dead the crown from his head,
Sank deep beneath the lily fold.
And there it remained not to be seen,
While the flowers bloomed gold and gleamed.

The Library Troll - 2009©Theo van Joolen NY USA

June 3rd, 2009

The caverns where I dwell
Could transport to the sky
Trails that abound  may lead you well
May bring you far, or keep you nigh

These caves of pleasant dreams
Might soothe your troubled heart
But nightmares often break the seams
To play a different part

What magic hides in this strange wood?
What Wizards rule this world?
Can I discern what’s bad from good?
What fate to be unfurled?

This, not pixie dust I drink
Transcends their playful breath
This wondrous mist, mysterious link
To birth and life and death

I open doors to hidden codes
And gaze at arts to me unknown
My being cannot see these modes
Such tricks I’m never shown

I fear these paths of light and dark
But to protect, my blood would shed
Great Mother bids me watch and hark
So here I  make my bed

To travelers! Enter if you dare!
Through these windows you may peer
This realm exists for all to share
A gift to hold so dear!

Road Slayer - 2009©Theo van Joolen NY USA

June 3rd, 2009

I’m not a Viking yet, I think
The Danes have come and gone
But I may find a distant link
Like a king does to a pawn

The road I tread is hot and hard
A journey that I seek
A warrior’s song told by the bard
That ebbs before the peak

My weapons are not axe, nor sword
It’s rubber that I need
I give no oath to King, nor Lord
I ride on shoes, not steed

For maidens, Odin, and mighty Thor
I strike the pavement true
For peace, and strength and modern Lore
I die, and then renew

I shed my blood on blackroad-tar
I sweat for Freya’s Love
I slay for pain and trudge so far
For, Valhalla is above!!

If I may suffer from mile to mile
And finish brave and strong
My face will beam triumphant smile
And you may sing my song

If this, to you, is frivolous fare
And quite beyond the pale
Then sit with me you may not dare
Nor join me in my ale!

Party Dress - 2009 ©Joannda Riche Northampton UK

June 3rd, 2009

My Friend said to me,
“come to my party”
So I got out my dress,
With ribbons and frills,
And skipped to the garden,
My heart full of thrill.

When I got there,
With my friends I did share,
The singing and dancing,
Without any care.

My dress floated gently,
Upon the light breeze,
I twirled in the sunlight,
And danced round the trees.

I had a great time in the afternoon sun,
I laughed and I played,
And had lots of fun.
and after it all
My dress went away,
Stored in the wardrobe
for the next special day.

Fairy Garden - 2009©Joannda Riche Northampton UK

June 3rd, 2009

Come to the garden,
Sit with your friends,
Chase all the fairies,
To the rainbows end.

Put on your dresses,
The Party is here,
Time to be happy,
With Laughter and cheer.

Drink crystal bubble,
From lemonade fountains
With pink fairy cakes,
And marshmallow mountains.

The birds from the trees,
They all will join in,
And sing their songs loudly,
For you to hear ring.

So come to the garden,
Come and have fun,
Dance and be silly,
Under the sun.

Mortal to Mermaid - Dorothea Barth 2009© Vallejo CA USA

June 1st, 2009

Well known ’s the tale of mermaid fair
Who rose to leave the sea
For love or curious yearning
Chose life’s complexity

O Mermaid are you satisfied?
Did love endure, suffice?
Or do you lament this journey,
This tossing of the dice?

Another tale must still be told
Although it may yet fail
Of mortal woman’s wond’ring wish:
Swap feet for mermaid’s tail

O Mermaid what’s it like to swim
B’neath surface of the sea?
With dolphins for companions
Alluring, fresh, and free?

At times kind friends have mentioned
It’s better to pretend
Just try the look, just wear the tail
Your fantasies will mend

O Mermaid, here’s my quandary:
Pretend will not permit
I wasn’t born with mermaid’s grace
Such slipper doesn’t fit!

Fluidity is often lost
In mortal woman’s face
Ambition steals serenity
Life’s sorrows tax our grace

O Mermaid, would you guide me then?
Will you take the helm?
Reveal those worlds I cannot see
In your enchanted realm

I walk along the water’s edge
Not far from where they thrive
And ponder such adventure that
Might re-invent my life

O Mermaid share your wisdom now
Where lies my remedy?
The mortal’s world ‘midst trees and trials,
Or life beneath the sea?

The faery who was kissed by the pixies - Mar Pilz 2009©Guatemala

May 29th, 2009

Shh  listen!
The water running between the stones
Shh.. .listen!
How the wind blows

Come!
Sit next to me
Here, down this old tree
Let him tell us stories
About heroes and their glories
About elves and pixies
About a fairy and her thousend kisses

In another world, not too far away
So beautiful, in a very pretty place
There lived a fairy, one of a kind
Her sadness and emptyness
Could stop the time

The king of the pixies saw her cry
Sitting on his throne, started to make up his mind
How could he help her, to make her shine?
What could he do to see her smile?

Let´s ask the gnomes – he said
go to the leprechauns- they replied
shoes!…a pretty pair of shoes- they said
let´s go to the elves he thought,
not being pleased by what he heard
A dress!!- they minded. Better if it´s blue

not being happy by their words
he traveled to other worlds
asking the nymphs, the trolls
and even the tritons

One night of insomnia
A voice spoke to him
- ask your pixies, they´ll know what to do.
They´ve got thousend kisses and millions of dreams to give -
When the fairy woke up
Pixies were flying around
Without losing time
She was kissed by everyone

Being kissed a thousend times
Brought her back her smile
She was happy again
And soon started to shine..

Come!
Sit next to me
Let us listen to the stories
Of this wise old tree

Willows - Deborah Shepard©2008 Yelm USA

May 28th, 2009

Lovely willows shades of her luminous gown speaks
Celeste fall colors dawns shades
Earths shall rest within, shadows fade
Holding each leafs auras are made

Across the the times , enigma appears
Colors beautifully arranged in falls sheen
Vibrant dances are azure
Each fairy’s voice heard , healing surround

Works masterpieces seen, she dances in the circles with she
When the cloak of timeless healings

Twilight willows shines, cellos dance in perpetual flowers each breathe
Each fairy’s dream soft, mirrors universe

To The Light Of Day - 2009©Terri Lynn Alabama USA

May 11th, 2009

To the light of day,And the dark of night
We sing our songs,Like whispers so light.
Carefree and joyous,Our days are meant to be
But by your disbelieve,We are trapped, not to be free.
We stay out of sight,And do not trouble thee
But tis your taunts,That won’t let us be.
When you speak your words,I do not believe
Our ancestry is dying,So will you give us relieve?
Open your hearts,And see like a child
Say I believe and we shall Fly wild.
But we shall remain unseen, And whisper so light
In the light of day,And in the dark of night.

 see like a child

Fly Wild see like a Child

The small Sweetpea Fairy

The small Sweetpea Fairy

I see you there
Why can’t you see me ?
I’m standing right here
Amongst the mist and the trees
I speak out to you
with my voice that’s so fair
but you keep on walking
like your deaf, or don’t care
You’ve noticed the flowers
and the beauty of the sky
so why won’t you notice
this little being that flies?
Because I am so small
and unseen by man
doesn’t mean I’m not here
dwelling on this land.
I see you there
Why can’t you see me ?
Maybe one day
when you learn to BELIEVE!

An Elf In My Room - Leanne©Co.Dublin Ireland

May 6th, 2009

There is a small elf who lives in my room
He thinks I have never seen him before
He’s small and wears red
He sneaks out when I go to bed
But when he sleeps boy he does snore
One day I heard him whisper
In a chipmunk kind of way
“Is my house nearly built?
Because I feel a little guilt,
Sleeping in this girl’s room every day!”
Then he must have a house in a forest
That is only being made
To stay in my room is not wrong
Sure he will not be here long
For he will leave to his forest home in the shade!

Moment Musicale - Dorothea Barth 2009© Vallejo CA USA

May 5th, 2009

A pixie piped a piccolo
A goblin strummed a lute
A fairy fiddler pranced around
An elf played rosewood flute

From distant lake a mermaid sang
A most enticing feat
And somewhere in a berry bush
A gay gnome kept the beat

A cheerful chorus then burst forth
From songbirds in the glen
A boisterous exclamation rose
From goldcrest, thrush, and wren

The wind and water were inspired
The add their mystery
Swooshing. trickling, rustling wild
Past oak and willow tree

The flowers opened up with glee
To share their scent with all
And deep within the forest
A red fox fired a call

A more alluring songfest
I can scarce recall
Be very still and you will hear
Such moments musicale

Far, Far Away - S.K.Lindeman©2009 NY USA

April 2nd, 2009

Just for today,
go far, far away
to the kingdom beyond,

Where green grey grows
down, deep
in the ground,

Where seabreezes
blow breathless,
swirling swordfish
sail on,

Where the isle
of Camelot is seen
in the dawn,

While the rabbit
runs wild, past the child
be late, be seen

‘Tis not just a dream
Neverland is near
and the unicorn
runs free.

Fairys Secret - Deborah Shepard©2008 Yelm USA

March 25th, 2009

Strolling down the dreamscape beaches
Scalloped edges of soft shells seen dancing amidst waves
Endless waterfalls in whispers prelim beauty
One can only touch fairy’s secret

Seamless paths enlighten with angels song
With gentle auras soft sprinkle sensual journey
Lapis beaches in timeless kiss envelope my soul
lullabies shared in concertos guitars

All espied years shall bend in folded wisp
Lasting as each soul connects , the  meeting kiss
His lips tender sweet apricots nectar
Life’s boundless joins each , wavers silhouetted spirits bond

Alluring tender eyes gaze at one another
Sighted single in fairy light
Lost forgotten , only if you believe
Porcelain love reclaimed, he will see
