Oh sweet nectar of the wood beyond,
Warm spice odor at the break of dawn,
Pitter patter little feet that clatter,
Glitter and flicker wings that shimmer,
The dance of the wee ones quickly shift.
As soon as the veil of light can lift.
Devious deeds with heartless needs,
The little ones devour your seeds.
A bit of milk and crumb delight,
Just might save your soul tonight.
A gift to give for a life to live,
That’s all you need worry to ever give.
Eyes that creep and stock about,
Behind sacred breaths aloud,
A lustful need to breach your mind,
They’ll climb inside and have a ride.
Visions for the weak minded fools,
False oxygen gusts of broken ghouls.
The mists of lunacy swing around,
Quickly lost sanity that’s never found.
They’ll eat your spirit and spit it out,
Curse your family without a pout.
They don’t mind their morbid game,
To their lord its all the same.
The faerie king he watches us,
In deep set eyes he judges us,
Ice blue hues from his sight,
He has no mercy in his might,
with legions of faeries bright,
He’ll summon you in the night.
The tree you burned the doe you shot,
His allegiance can not be bought,
The protector of an older myth,
He comes again from the mist,
A switch and swap when your caught.
The doppelganger’s in your spot.
His voice, it screams with horrid dreams,
That split your nightmares holy seams.
A realm unnoticed by eyes of man,
A hallowed place you’ll attend.
Here your his for all to see,
Here he’ll provoke your misery.

Merry meet,
Congratulations on winning the Gold. This was a very interesting and some what sinister poem. There really isn't much more that I could add that hasn't already been said by others. I did enjoy this:
The mists of lunacy swing around,
Quickly lost sanity that’s never found.
I've had that feeling.
Congratulations again on your win.

awesome
this is really good. and has lots of expression... it does seem a bit ominous but that just makes it so much better... like the types of faeries i've heard about that live in that one forest somewhere in canada (newfoundland i think) it's really good -
