Drops of happiness, encased in dew,
Fall in the magic forest's glade,
And fairies gather them each night
For they are those, of which dreams are made
In baskets made of gossamer thread
They store them in the magic dell,
It's there the fairy of all the dreams
Weaves in them, a magic spell.
Then lavender fairy takes each one,
And flies on moonbeams to your room,
She'll drop them carefully in your eyes,
To Chase away life's darkest gloom.
So tonight before you sleep,
Watch the moonbeams in the sky,
Then close your eyes and make a wish,
That the Lavender fairy, to you will fly.

Masterblaster your poem is like a fairytale in its own right!The first stanza caught my attention right away and then I was hooked! I couldn't wait to read the rest! Wonderful!
-
STUNNING!
This is STUNNING, Di! The imagery in this is so vivid and astounding! I love your fantasy writes! The first stanza (especially the first two lines) is perfection, and sets the scene for the body of the poem perfectly. Your ryhme scheme is flawless, as is the flow. Cadence is wonderful, too. My fav, however, is:
Then lavender fairy takes each one,
And flies on moonbeams to your room,
She'll drop them carefully in your eyes,
To Chase away life's darkest gloom.
This stanza creates such a wonderful image in the reader's mind. I have a soft spot for poetry about fairies, gnomes and the like, and you have truly done it justice with this peice. This was truly a pleasure to read. Excellent write, Di!! -
Hi my friend, thanks a million, hugs Di

lavender and fairies .. this is so gentle and serene. the lore of fairies so compelling and so wistfull. u weave a beautiful thread of poetry. picture is wonderful
-
I really enjoyed reading this poem as it gives all that read it a great positive outlook to look forward to. I especially like the detail you included in the stanza:
In baskets made of gossamer thread
they store them in a magic dell.
It's there the fairy of all dreams
weaves in them a magic spell.
I can just see a dell full of fairies all weaving spells to be delivered. I liked the rhyming and description throughout this poem. Great work and hope to read some more of your work soon. -

Aww that was sweet. The flow was a little jagged but all in all I think it was very well written. It had good vocabulary and great imagry. You could see everything that was happening. Great job. Thank you for commenting on my poem and for sharing yours. I apologize for not commenting back sooner but I was away from my mind for a while. Always Pen from the heart and you'll never write wrong.

This is really beautiful. You seem to like to write about fairies a lot. Great job! I can't get over how good you are. Great great good awesome wonderful job!
-
yeah that something in 'Midsummers nights dream' I've never really seen it but I've heard bits and its about faeries and the like!!
-
I know a bank where the wild tyme blows where ox slips and the nodding violet grows, there lies Titania some time of the night,lulled in these slumbers with dances and delight,there the snake throws her enamel skin ,weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in. or something like that, thanks a million hugs Di
-
I think I noticed a slight allusion to Shakespeare, possibly not deliberate, it made me think of the Tempest, Prosperos 'our revels now are ended' speech and the words 'we are the stuff which dreams are made on' and these dew drops you mention are the same lol!!I'v enoticed you like faeries and thats great, their quite a symbol of innocence mostly and its very sweet. Great use of language and it really is calming once more. and I just realised another shakespeare thingy, it could also be linked with Mercutio's Queen Mab speech and to be fair most of 'A Midsummer nights dream' ah you got to love dear William haven't you lol!!
-
This is a magical and enchanting poem. I like it a lot, it really gives you a glimpse into the world of faeries. This is beautiful, you have a huge amount of talent. Keep it up!
-
oh my word, what a gorgeous image.. the fairies and the moon beams. Its just so pure and innocent. I wish we all had some drops of happines, but i think this poem might be one of them as i am sitting with a hge smile on my face.. .. all because ofthe image this poem has created in my mind.
Once again you give us a masterpiece to enjoy and fawn over, becuase thats all we can do as you never make a mistake to be ciriticised!!!! Your rhyming in this piece was very good it did not feel forced once and had suvh a good rhytym and flow.
Great write and always keep it up!!

Wow... this is really beautiful! There is such a great use of imagery and the whole peice is just excellent! Great job and keep up the awesome work! -
Hi Joliemere thanks a million, I think we all need a lavender fairy to bring us those dreams, hugs Di
-
The picture is almost...almost..as beautiful as your words. This is such a better mental picture than that of the "sandman" "Drops of happiness, encased in dew..." That stanza is my favorite. to think that dreams are made of that is beautiful. You use such breath-takingly beautiful metaphors. Wonderful write!
-

Loveley poem
Its nice to be taken in such a sweet way from reality to fantasy! I loved the magical images that swept through the poem and felt this was a definite "feel good" poem! If I may be so bold as to make one small comment, I felt the very last line was a little "forced? This is just a minor point but perhaps one you may or may not want to look at? Overall, lovely poem and enjoyed it thoroughly, all the best Paul -
wicked good
this is good i felt like i was flying with the fairy you have a way with words that seem to draw people into a world between being awake and dreaming. -
