like a cat
a faerie only gets so many lives.
Each bubble delicate,
candy floss soluble,
& magically propitious…
Chimney sweep lucky, and a good deal less sooty,
it’s a good idea to hang in her general vicinity.
Quietly, though, since Tipping Tongues kill faeries,
& only water affords her attention–
—method more so:
/ waterboard verses /
/ bubblebath verses /
“oh-oh, what was that?
did you feel that?”
(cursing)
That’s a big difference
to the skin!
–and like Rumpelstiltskin
a faerie must go if beckoned,
since some faerie rules are universal
and delivery is critical.
Just think of
Betelgeuse
Betelgeuse
Betel…just a skosh more demonic
than sprite, but distant relations all the same
the 6th fact that bears remembering
(if forgotten will evidence evenso)
a faerie cannot, absolutely cannot
live within walls,
cages, or books.
Any page written thereto
will contain only the Faerie Tail—
Faerie story, and other stored, faerie bits,
omitting the X factor entirely.
(the best part of the faerie besides Y and Z)
Equal space distancing
between all
3 eyes.

Very Nice Animation
Kali–you are a cupcake to say. I just did the frame on this one….a master over at Sevenoaks animation gets credit for the rest!! 🙂
But those with faerie-like qualities ( like you my friend) have far more lives, far more chances to delight and amaze…
