This was an enchanting and delightful read. Your words evoked beautiful and colorful pictures in my mind's eye. I could easily envision this as a beautiful children's book much like the large bedtime storybooks that I recall from childhood. If you could find a quality illustrator to paint the pictures that you have written you will have a delightful book. Well done!

A wonderful poem about dancing fairies, full of rich imagery and vivid scenes of joy and revelry. The theme of the piece is clear throughout. The artwork and the cheerful background chosen to accompany the poem enhance its presentation and draw the reader into the fairy world. Excellent work.

What a beautiful entry for this contest. The imagery is amazing - very imaginative and creative.
Strong meter and rhyme add to the pleasure of reading.
Good luck in the contest.

How beautiful. My mother told us tales of long ago, one of which resonated with me when I read this truly lovely descriptive work. You probably won't find it anywhere but it was called the "Elf and the dormouse" this is truly lovely and evoked many moments of my childhood. Thank you for sharing.

This poem, The Fairy Dance, presented in iambic tetrameter and an ABCB rhyme scheme, draws the reader in to witness the fun-filled frolic of the fairies in the foresy. Neat.

Lovely and fun, I can certainly see a little girl loving this!
My only 'complaint' (if you can call it that) is that the meter isn't always quite right. Most of the lines are 8 syllables but you vary a bit, down to 7 or up to 9. Not the biggest deal in the world. :)
Blessings and best in the contest!

A very nice poem eloquently written for the faires, It sounds like they had a lot of fun all packed into the one evening. Your words are very descriptive and I could see the whole dance going on. Your picture enhances your poem completely. Great job! Good luck with the contest.

A wonderful poetic creation of the Fairies and their nocturnal activities - the reader is captivated from the outset by the preparations for the pending celebrations - a treat for the little folk too!
