Sticks And Stones...
Faerie in poetry has been around since ancient times. The Greeks had their sirens and nymphs. Sanskrit poetry presents the Gandharvas who are supernatural and celestial beings and in Egypt, a form of Faerie, the Hathors, emerge who are Faerie godmother types of creatures similar to the Faerie godmother in the faerie tale of Sleeping Beauty.
The Poetry Meet site is now festooned and ready with a crystal platform spanning horizontally in front of the Faerie Queen's throne. As each of the Faeries perform, my turn comes uncomfortably closer and closer, until my theatrophobia is quieted by a sip of the fae's honeysuckle nectar tea. I curtsy before the Faerie Queen and the following escapes my lips:
Over 'rizon or on a star.
At compass points--north, south, east or west
Wherever you are, this be your test.
So come with me up, down, left and right
Journey we into the night.
Into the mountains with their height
Feel the Sidhe and their might.
Their lakes are blue, darkened pools
Surrounded by Aleric stools.
Misty west, the Pembroke Coast
Channel Ire loved by most.
Laugharne and Milford too
The Isle of Man their phantom booth.©1999
