C.J., that is a delightful poem. It reminds me of the poetry of an English writer I discovered as a kid. Her name is Eleanor Farjeon. It's hard to find her books nowadays, but she wrote a book of poetry called "The Children's Bells," and two books that I think you might love if you can find them. One is THE SILVER CURLEW which I read aloud to my grandchildren and they loved it, and the other is an adult book called MARTIN PIPPIN IN THE APPLE ORCHARD.
Absolutely charming.
Thank you, Sue. I appreciate your support.
Needs a melody.
Could you write one for me, Gerard?
Alas, if only! I’m no musician.
Nuts. I hoped you were looking to get hired to write the music.
That’s okay. Thank you for the thought, Gerard.
CJ, Magical. D
That’s the perfect word to describe fairies, Dave.
Thank you!
Love this! I remember being told the mist being dancing fairies 🧚🏻♂️
Yeah, I think everyone gets bitten by the fairy bug at some point in their lives! 😁💕❤️
Thank you, Poetry f.s.

Oooh yes C.J, Fairies are real … l still talk to them. The poem is sings the same joy each time l read it ❤️🧚🏽♂️
I knew the poem would bring out the inner fairy in you! 💕❤️😊😘😍
Thank you!
That’s the poem l read last year, in August at a poetry reading. 🥰
Oh I remember now. Wow a year has almost gone by already? 😁😊😍

I feel honored to be compared in any way to the likes of Eleanor Farjeon. Thank you, Sandy.
You know her. Bravo.
If Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle could believe that they were real, who I am to judge that?
I had no idea they believed! That’s interesting and I’m in very good company!! Thank you, David.
You need to know the story of the Cottingley Fairies, if you don’t know it already.
Can I find it online to read?
You should be able to, if only on Wikipedia.
Sounds good, thank you again, David.
