Undying Fairy

The quaint story of a fairy dancing without a care in the world...until I kill it.

Fairy, fairy, so content

Can nothing destroy this sweet lament

Of world's worries and pretty

Willows?

...

My favourite.

As I bask in your blind joy

And dream of no tomorrow

...

Monday.

I cannot help but wonder what

You lost, your mind,

To the golden apples and their w****s in the Hesperides

Apples, Apples, so many...give me indigestion

No wonder they're yellow!

Dancing, Dancing,

Dreaming slowly,

Getting dirty, for experience

Turning, turning,

No, not on Fire

But your heart is

And difficult to boil, Like

Jack's butchered gender.

...

...

Nothing can awaken

This little creature's

Nightmare

It will dance

Forev--(Bash)

Stupid fairies!

Bloody pests if you ask me.

Author's Note

In case some of you were wondering what most of the things mean in this poem, I'll just clarify them for future readers:
(1) Willows are my favourite trees
(2) I hate Mondays. Who doesn't?
(3) I thought going off track with the golden apples bit would provide a different and original path into this poem, so that I wouldn't bore you with constant rhymes of happiness and how this fairy's joy will never end. This is also underlined when I kill the fairy myself. :) Obtaining the Golden Apples of the Hesperides was one of the tasks given to the Greek mythological hero, Heracles, by his mother, Hera. I called the maidens in these gardens 'whores' so as to add something completely unexpected to the poem. This unexpectedness is abused even further when I state that these golden apples give me indigestion. The colour of gold, i.e. yellow, means that they are rotten. Lol. I decided not to add the legendary dragon guarding the Golden Apples, seeing as how it would have been too much an emphasis on Greek mythology.
(4) The part about Jack and the heart refers to a favourite thriller of mine, From Hell, starring Johnny Depp, and based on Jack the Ripper. Near the end of the film, Jack takes out his last victim's heart after butchering her, and starts talking to himself, explaining that the heart is an intensely difficult organ to boil.

Welcome Luke to VC. Hope your stay will prove a rewarding experience.

A very interesting poem, some bizarre thoughts strung together, but I wonder what they mean to you. I would love to see you mention in Author's Notes what inspired you to write the poem. Well written, and thanks for giving me the opportunity to read and review.

:) well done! Fairies are boring!! I prefer witches - as they have been burn trough out our history (in fiction and in reality) because they are different and they refuse to say "Amen" to the "power" that want to rule the world and want us all to kneel down a pray to them! And good and bad and apples golden, green or red can do us good if we decide, not if someone else make us look for them and eat them the way they think is the right way!
nice poem!

well ...ahem...lol I daresay...while I will concede the very annoying nature of those fairies that poop rainbows and throw happiness around, one must be careful in the squashing of them. For fairies have darker cousins and , in the end....a fairy is a fairy and they may not take too kindly this untimely death. Not to mention, that faires have a long time affinity with dragons....and, well, it could go badly. lol

ok...even as a fairy..found this quite amusing :)

Stupid fairies!/

I believe it has been said that some fairies are better off being "Bashed". Thanks for this insight into the dark side of the fantasy world. I love this. I am feauring it in the Cloak and Dagger Group. I feel it best represents the current style and mode.

Uhh, I like the last strophe. You write great endings --> always surprising but yet fitting for the poem.
I think that you made a very kowel abstract painting of the common ,,yeeyee girl,,.
Great write.
