Welcome to the land of Doogwyn, where fairies, elves, sprites and dragons come together to celebrate the year's end. Year’s End on Doogwyn
Krie glides around the wooded glen and flits between tall elfin men in fairy fashion: deftly rides around the wooded glen, Krie glides.
Diego sails in guarded flight - Doogwyn’s pretentious, playful sprite. He yearns to glisten forest trails in guarded flight. Diego sails.
A sparkling shroud of fairy dust proliferates when dragon’s gust consumes the sky with pinkish cloud of fairy dust - a sparkling shroud!
"I knew you’d come, Daegon my friend!" "I had to, Krie, to then transcend the wall of never-ending glum." "Daegon my friend, I knew you’d come!"
In merriment, they lead the dance and bid adieu with festive stance expressing unified content. They lead the dance in merriment.
As minutes pass, twin moons appear and glow upon Doogwyn’s frontier to chants of praise (and bits of sass); twin moons appear as minutes pass.
Somehow, they form enchanting ties as each surrenders to ‘goodbyes’. At ease with resolution’s vow . . . they form enchanting ties somehow.

Nice job, Lori!
You took us all on a fanciful flight where enchanted dreams are made of. It is great to read you again. 😊
Stay cool!

Why hello Lindi! Teehee, I brought this one back, made a few slight edits partly because it's Friday and was a long work week and I wanted some smiles and partly because - well - just because. I am going to put Plato's Pearls back up here in the poetry sub-forums section and open it again for exhibition only. I hope you will post again - I love your poetry! Thanks so much for stopping by! ~Cleo

What a lovely Swap Quatrain, Lori!
You sure put a smile on my face. I love sprites and elves doing mischief in the woods and glades.
Childhood magic for the child that lives on in us!
Love, Syl***

Ah shucks - thanks Syl! I'm glad you enjoyed this little ditty o' mine. I like to imagine what it might be like to be somewhere like Doogwyn with its animated characters and twin moons. Although, would that mean that high tide and low tide are never ending anomalies? I really could stand to rewrite bits of this actually - perhaps another day? Thanks so much for visiting! Cheers, ~Cleo

Why hello Maureen, Thanks so much - this was my 'child' speaking when I wrote this. The 'setting' if you will is most prevalent on my brain at present as its part of the story I'm writing - although the names have been changed. I may just have to call the planet 'Doogwyn' now, Thanks for stopping by! ~Cleo
