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.

I love the use of mythology in this poem, you did a great job with that. I'd pick my favorite lines, but they are all so wonderful, I just can't choose. This is a fantastic poem. Thanks for sharing! OH, and the reference to 'From Hell'-awesome, I love that movie!

i loved the ending. it's very funny.

[Gaiamethod]

I got most of it but the Jack bit threw me, until I read the author's notes!!
I absolutely loved the ending!! It reminds me of The Book of Squashed Fairies. I think the writer of that book loved them as much as you do!! :-))

[Silver_Moon]

nice poetry... I love it from your own point of view. At least some things are clear because you already mentioned it in your notes. Keep up the good work! :D

Thank you for you Author's Notes. LOL I had figured out most of it in my own mind while reading but must admit I was a little thrown when the apples came into play. Quite and interesting write and one that I can say I did like, especially upon a second read.

Blessings,

A most intriguing write
one that takes the reader to feel the emotions
