We are Fairies

down in the woods
deep in the glen
is our fairy home
a place of wonder
hid from human eye

some think us a myth
a tale for kids
be that as may be
we are just hidden
tucked away from sight

when a fairy ring
you find, pause
look around
feel the beat
of fairy wings

if you wish to see
our fairy queen
a special stone
you will need
to go to the brook

search there carefully
and you will find
a glamour stone
this will enable you
to espy her or us

through the hole
you must look
magically now
we will appear
clear as day

maybe, maybe
a wish we
will grant you
if we think you
have been good

About this poem:
this is a fascinating subject I find. Buried in myth some say Fairies watch over all things to do with nature and on that I agree
Others think fairies are creatures of mischief personally I think thats the Imps.
Others say, they are creatures of spite and malicious I can't agree with this. How can such a beautiful thing be that way I know a romantic I am but still.
To goblins and the like go such things as spite and malice.
Glamour Stone this is a stone found at the bottom of a brook that has a self bored hole in it made by the tumble of the Brook's water.
Not one found on the beach or made by sea
legend tells us that if you look through the hole of a glamour stone a fairy you will distinctly see
haven't tried it before ask you sometimes its best to let legends remain legends.
Did you know that in early legends they did not have wings but floated around on leaves and backs of birds? Only since Victorian Times have they been accredited with wings
yes I myself do believe in fairies
