It was late and turning gray
And I was lonely that sad day
There was a chill in the air
A touch of magic that is very rare
So I whispered 'hello' to the night
And suddenly my chest fell tight
But I wanted time to sing and play
So I thought kindly of the fairy fey
The night breathed on my face
And it felt like a magical place
I heard the night say 'Do you want to play?
Or do wish it was still day? '
The cool night was so warm and calm
In the starry sky the full moon was gone
It was a beautiful night to make a wish
So I whispered 'Play' and I heard a swish
Swirling and twirling from under the tree
Swarms of lights came fluttering towards me
What I thought were fireflies were now new
Small curves, tiny dresses and nice legs too
Glowing and shimmering they were very pretty
And gorgeous even though they were itty bitty
I couldn't help staring at such a lovely sight
Perfect bow shaped mouths and eyes starry bright
I danced and frolicked in their glowing magic
As they emanated music that was so nostalgic
That was until I saw their mouths opened wide
And revealed pearly rows of sharp teeth inside
Clouds of tiny fey swarmed closer filling the skies
Close to my face I saw an evil gleam in their eyes
Next I felt uncountable teeth sink into my flesh
I saw many tiny marks of red as blood ran fresh
On my arms and legs I watch the red marks grow
As I felt them bite everywhere and not let go
In a short time my clothes were all tattered red
Too fast to feel pain and moments later I was dead

WOW' Darla... a lovely fascinating write, I felt as if I am in a theater hall being engrossed with the rapid changes from one scene to other which were very neatly framed with your amazing imagination..... a 10 from my side
Woah this began in a magical wistful way then to fireflies and then imagination took a sharp turn into glowing fairies and then took a surprise dark turn to villainous fairy characters. Fascinating! Kudos for the rhyme scheme. Nice to read u again.
