This is a poem that is a representation of people and their fears and thoughts. When we as people get uncomfortable or scared we have a tendency to run. This is what my poem represents.

This poem originally was published in Poems on Life

Fairies
The moon has risen the sun has gone,
The fairies come out one by one.
The stars light their way through the weary night.
They must get prepared for their untimely flight.
The winter has come much too soon.
They must flee this night, by the light of the moon.

The days are cold, the nights just as bad.
The fairies have lost what they once had.
The warmth of the sun, the breeze of the night,
Now they are desperate, fleeing by flight.

    Faries, it is an often overlooked subject for writting abou, you can find many pictures of them,but we know less about them then we do about knomes trolls and goblins. Tis a pity, It was a very good piece the rhyming was excellent and I loved the story that it told. I would like to hear more about her friends in more of her poetry.

    I really like this poem. For me it reflects upon my years of wandering as a street kid, loving by the scary yet inviting light of the moon. It is here we would come alive, into the playgrounds of Portland, San Francisco and everywhere, every highway inbetween.
