Moonlight shadows beneath the yew
branches stay moist with drops of dew.
Midnight calls as the dance begins
the cunning spider sits and spins.
Forrest laughter in the distance
creature's voice of non existence.
Fairies of a time long ago
spreading pixie dust all aglow.
Soar high above the evergreen
the hidden web can not be seen.
Weary wings cause her to descend
the hidden foe shall apprehend.
Her pixie dust sounds the alarm
to warn the others of great harm.
A sprinkle there a sprinkle here
it warns of danger lurking there.
Her fragile wings now stuck like glue
so there is nothing they can do.
Death is only moments away
for now the spider stalks it's pray.
This tiny fairy met her fate
spreading her wings to celebrate.
It was to be her final dance
destiny left to happenstance.

WONDERFUL COMMENT
Thank you Barry for the nice comment. Yes it is kind of sad.
I didn't start out to write a sad ending but that's where it wound up. Hope you are feeling better. Always a pleasure to hear from you. Take care. Sandy

Beautiful written and beautiful sentiments.
Aaah Sandy I liked this little bit of well written fun but with such a tragic and sad ending ... but it was a nice diversion away from the mundane and wrist cuttinf blood gushing stuff that is so prevalent on thi site. -

It's so sad!! As a lover of fairies and pixies I think it's abuse!!! Just kidding, it was wonderful yet so depressing.. Like I said before I'm really obsessed. Twas quite morbid, but beautiful nonethelesss...Wonderful realm of fantasy you created. Twas amazing. The detail was wonderful, must of come from a beautiful mind. It was cute...but really twisted, it makes me not want to go to the woods, or be a fairy...or see spiders...or play with spiders.. EEEEEP! Must really suck to get your guts sucked out by a spider Poor little pixie...
More more more! I loved it!
With all the best regards and luck!
