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.
Thanks Bri Edwards 😀. Yes that was the intended meaning. Dappled sunlight through a leafy canopy overshadowing a forest path. Thanks for all your kind and insightful comments 🌷
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. 🌷.
