Fairyology Lesson

Welcome back to Fairyology! Our lessons are going to be turning towards Fairy art, talents, beliefs, and personalities for a while.

Lesson:

A poem about fairies;

The Assembling of the Fays

They come from beds of lichen green,

They creep from the mullein's velvet screen;

Some on the backs of beetles fly, from the silver tops of moon-touched trees,

Where they swung in their cobweb hammocks high, and rocked about in the evening breeze;

And now they throng the moonlight glade,

Above- below- on every side,

Their little minim forms arrayed, in the tricksy pomp of fairy pride

- Joseph Rodman Drake

Assignment: This week, you get to write your own fairy poem! It has to be at least four sentences, but it doesn't have to rhyme. Many poems just have beautiful words strung together to create an image. Send your poem to everythingdollwebsite@gmail.com, and make sure to put in the subject as Fairyology 2!
