Writing Wednesday | Poem: Fairy Child

I wrote this back when I was in my Junior year of high school for my creative writing class. This was actually on of my favorite pieces to write because of the style it's written in: sestina. I love this piece and I hope you do too.

Fairy Child

Like a lonely passing thought

the girl felt the summer breeze

that accompanied the night

surrounded by the dark

she sat in the garden

watching the fairy blooms

sway in the wind. Pretty blooms

from her thought

world of a fairy garden

with her hair fluttering in the breeze

outlined by the dark

starry night

She began walking into the night

surrounded by the fragrant blooms

dancing in the dark

I wonder where I’ll go. she thought

as the gentle breeze

followed her from the garden

Leaving behind the garden

engulfed in the night

followed by the breeze

she smelled of exotic blooms

to those who thought

she was a creature of the dark

The girl continued in the dark

passing many a garden

Do my parents miss me? she thought

looking up at the starry sky of night

wishing for some pretty blooms

to dance in the breeze

She heard a cry floating in the breeze

looking in the dark

for her as blooms

danced in a nearby garden

shrouded by night

without a thought

Running without a thought as the breeze

whipped her face in the night, surrounded by dark

into a garden and hiding amongst the blooms.
