I'm with you--they are fairies in disguise no matter what everyone else is claiming. Only the true believers see what is actually there. Mere moths, indeed. Tsk.
This is an excellent cinquain.

Well, you have definitely taken a bold stance as a fairy lover. You are definitely an expert at writing about fairies and other unusual creations as in your story about the gardens. Keep on dreaming then writing. Bill

Very nice! I like the liberal sprinkling of alliteration through out the poem as well as the change in perception of fairies to moths--very well done! Unfortunately, the magic of a moment can too often can be dulled by the mundane. Good poem! Luck with the contest.

    Thanx so much for the review, Craigitar!! ;)
    I do so apologize for the tardiness (and cut-and-pastiness!) of this response, I have been (still am!) in the midst of converting everything to online learning for the mandated school closings for the foreseeable future. Once I get ?ahead? in this ?change of venues? (i.e., instruction in cyberspace ? lol!), I promise to be back to ?me? in my responses? you know, the crazy blonde fantasy chick! ;) ;)
    Take care of you and we?ll be sailing smoothly again in a few more days? hopefully!

I like this one, I think you could be right about moths, and if they see a fairy perhaps there needs to be testing booth for eyes like the corona virus heh heh. This is an excellent cinquain Yvette, well done, good luck, blessings, Roy

"Revelations of Age", is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. I look forward to seeing your next post.

So Yvette, you see the fairies flit before your eye? I believe you. I also saw things out of this world but no one believed me, they laughed... so I wrote it down. At least I would know and remember. This is a good entry for the Cinquain Poetry contest. :)
P. S. I hope the fairies weren't those in your classroom. :) ;)

Ah, how sweet! That note I mean. The poem is especially good but the moths spoiled it for me. I hate moths.
Better to see fairies than moths is my motto! LOL
Best wishes in the contest.

Beautiful! You can see fairies? Oh, I knew you were a special kind! Or maybe they are tiny angels bestowing the wonderful qualities you possess!

Lovely my friend! xoxo

Let's hold on to our illusions for as long as possible! With a childlike sense of imagination and wonder we can keep some magic in our lives. We are getting an overdose of harsh reality lately - keep dreams and fantasy as a softening comfort.

Yvette,

Delightful poem with your f- and m-letter alliterations sprinkled about. Your last line is wonderful. Do these fairies sprinkle fairy dust too, or just flit about? LOL

Good contest entry for sure.
