I love fairies.Congratulations on the book...a ten from me.
Linda, I needed something to lift me up and this little dancing poem did that. Top Marks from me. Thanks for sharing it. David
Great story telling Linda. Terriffic rhythm and bubbling with life! x jim
Saw your Forest Sprite II and had to come to visit this one as well. Both are sweet, enchanting little poems, and like some of your other readers said, lovely to read to the grandchildren, which I will do. But even Grandmas can believe in fairies! Love, Fran xx
A perfect poem Linda. I'm going to read this to my grand daughter.
sweet and comforting poem linda...remember those wings we got pinned to our white dresses for a christmas play...felt like a fairy...love...nalini
Linda this is adorable, written with magic and sparkle in true fairy tale fashion. It reminds me of my little threes and fours dancing to Vivaldi with toadstools and tiny wands. Loved it. Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

What a lovely, enchanting nice piece - this wonderful poem of yours. It is truly divine! The more often one reads it, the clearer one gets a feeling for the presence of such endearing sprites like the one in your forest.
Linda, this is just magically perfect. I can just imagine it as a poem in an illustrated children's fairytale book; though your portayal is so detailed, little illustration needed! t x
Absolutely charming Linda, and for my money, would stand out as a children's classic. (Unlike my imp!) Danny
