King of Fae

~

There I sat atop a boulder, blue 

Whistling a sad little memory of you 

Remembering you in your dancing days 

Lord of forest, King of Fae. 

My heart was left crushed by stone 

When you surfed a breeze at break of morn 

 Shimmering 'cross a sea blue sky 

To deal the foe a fate forsworn 

News it travelled 'cross river and town 

Our King of Fae has won his fight 

But the cost to save his kin and wife 

Was to pay the toll with his own life.

A very good story told in the poetry. I liked the journey to the sad ending. I liked how you create a king and you told of fatal battle. Thank you Ana for sharing your amazing poetry.

An ethereal magical vibe to this wee tale, what an honourable character, you can't help but feel endeared to this. I think this tale could go places, many of your pieces have that characteristic. Fine fine writing! R xo

I knew a Faelyn we worked in a pub together in Belfast I don't know the origin of her name but I always thought her name was mystical and magical.

Thanks Rach. :)
I met someone with the same name in my travels, I thought it was lovely. I'm glad you liked this wee tale.

Ana, you should look into being published, seriously. Everything you write connects to the heartstrings beautifully and reminds me of some beauty I have felt in my life. You got it lady, art in word form.

Oh, and ps...Fae, in Scot's as in werr ah'm fae, means where I am from. Just mentioning it as it feels so apt to the last verse.

Thanks Nemo, you're kind. :)
That's the best compliment. I appreciate it.
Maybe when I retire but for now I do ok so this is my little hobby. :)

[Lorry]

Good idea, by then you'll have enough to bring out a compendium of books :)

I think it was an honorable way to die. A touching little story. This one I would love to read more of.

[Ana Papaya]

Thanks James. I meant to do more with this but got distracted by other things.
I'm glad you liked it!

Especially for a fairy. Thanks!
