The Faerie Green

Step not upon the Faerie Green,
Oh mortal man of blood unclean -
For if you enter here undue
Our mischief shall your life undo.

Heed this warning - listen well:
Villains, you had best depart.
In brief, enter not a single dell
If you be not pure of heart.

For in this place the trees have power -
Magic dances from bower to bower.
Yet whether the charm be good or ill
Depends upon the Faeries' will.

So tarry if you be free of spite -
The worthy shall be amply blessed.
For Faeries often do delight
To aid the honest in their quest.

The way is open; the path is straight.
The risks are many; the rewards are great.
Judge your soul and o’er my verses muse -
The time has come for you to choose.

*This is my first piece for a while, as some of you may notice (medical school has stolen my whole year). Tell me what you think. I fear I may be getting rusty...*

The most beautiful, eloquent array of images. Such excellence woven, this is going to my favourites. The magic dancing . . small glows striking flowers and illuminating skies . . such a triumph . . a tremendous, beautiful work.

Thank you Faerie... Even though we never chat or anything, you're one of those poets that captured me from the very beginning of my time here at dp. Your name was one of the things that inspired this, actually ;) Thought youâ€™d like to know.

this sounds like a verse from a folksong, in a book like "The Last Unicorn"...or even on the level with gods and goddesses, it has charm...nicely done *~seraph~*

i want more! and anth is absolutely right: your metre, rhythm and rhyme is dead-on perfect. the use of archaisms is deftly handled also... and it feels like the opening to a story... lovely write.
