To Faerie Land Poem by Steve Howard

An enchanting poem so well written filled with great imagery and superb imagination. Thank you sir for writing and sharing it with one and all. Rated 10++ and added to my favourites.

Thanks very much Shaun Cronick. I'm grateful for your kindness 😀

Thanks Bri Edwards 😀 yes..that was the intended meaning of " dappled" . Spots of sunlight through a leafy canopy on a forest path. I appreciate your kind and insightful comments. Punctuation is not my string suit. I intended the poem to be read with a pause after each semicolon for effect. Perhaps this could have been done differently. The area in which i live was once heavily forested, and faerie rings were more common in my youth. 🌷.

4 - Boy! That was a struggle! ! :)

3 – " fairy/fairie ring" here i believe refers to a circle of mushrooms growing in the ground, a natural, but i think uncommon phenomenon. lines 6,7,8,13, maybe 16, & 18: why have semicolons at ends of line? ? i like it for the most part. topic: " fantasy" ? What! ? I went there yesterday and am back, unharmed, at PC today! to MyPoemList bri :)

2 - My first comment did not seem to get submitted, but it HAD. So, some of what follows has been mentioned (not exactly) already. i believe, by " dappled" , you are describing a patch of ground covered with spots of sunlight which have 'filtered' through an overhead leafy plant/tree or a trellis.

1 - " a dappled ** sun will show" ** dappled [adjective]: " marked with spots or rounded patches" If one talks of " sun spots" ON the Sun, or on human skin, the Sun or skin could be called dappled. But in poem i think what is " dappled" is e.g. ground spotted by patches of sunlight coming down through leafy branches or a trellis.
