Walk softly upon the dew lit ground
when only a mile from Mystic Springs
for in its shadows lays the Whispering cave
within, sleeps the darkest of the Fairy Queens
So hush, my child, be quiet...
Let her slumber under her leaves,
or the twilight will be most unsettling
with the gruesome witchery she weaves.
For under moon madness, inspire
she'll take flight on raven wings
on a haunting, nighttime, ever---quest
in search of woeful dreams.
She'll hunt for Grim in the underworlds.
Capture visions from a Nightmare Witch.
Or strain chimera from a Goblin's nod
with merely a jerk and a sharp twitch.
And when her potion bag moans--fullness
the darkest of the Fairy Queens
slithers through your open windows
and tip-toes in to set grizzly scenes.
Her magic ferments/toils in devilish bloom
in tucks and folds she'll cast her spell
feasting on babe's peacefully slumber
with pillow visions straight from hell.
So hush, my child, be quiet...
Let her slumber under her leaves,
or the twilight will be most unsettling
with the gruesome witchery she weaves.

"So hush, my child, be quite..." The last word in this line is spelt incorrectly it should be Quiet. It is a common mistake.
"She'll hunt for grim in the underworlds." The word grim should be capitalized it is a proper name and there for should be done in capital.
"Capture visions from a Nitemare Witch." I think you should of placed the world Nitemare as Nightmare
"So hush, my child, be quite..." The last word quite is spelled in correctly it should be Quiet a common mistake.
Thank you for entering my contest this was very well done I really liked it fix the mistakes and you will have an excellent poem. Thank you for sharing
