When Does Winter Start? A Flower Fairy Called Out, And When Does Summer End?

When does Winter start?
A fragile fairy
stood against the wind of Fall
and protested its coming.
Day Lily had worried about her timing.
Her flowers
had not been carefully covered
as yet
fore she simply could not accept their sleeping.
She would miss them so
in their repose.
She desperately needed more time
to savour their loveliness
and note their stems green lines.
The clock was surely ticking.
That's what legends and myths
charted
on the surface of her scrapbook
and noted by her
as not to be missed.

Poor little fairy
poor little dear
she wanted her treasures
to last and last
forever.

When does Fall start?
Another fairy in the garden sang forth
not realizing it was already there
losing time to gather leaves
to cover her hydrangeas
allowing them to rest
till springtime
the next calendar year.
She had lost track of time
I guess.
With so much to do
a gardens care taking
she exclaimed
was never quite through.

Poor little fairy
poor little dear.
she wanted her treasures
to last and last
forever.

Oh! When does Spring start again?
I miss it so!
Said a magical creature with wings.
It seems my fellow angels have been sleeping
as they worried bout the cold sting
that Fall
then Winter brings.
Wake up I say
as little seedlings poke their heads
above the dried up leaves
that had covered them
in their seasonal sleep.

OH! Poor little fairies
poor little dears.
They wanted her treasures
to last and last
forever.

When does Summer start?
Tis a flower fairies ball
as they dance on clouds like feathers
and send their secret calls.
Butterflies and honey bees
dragonflies and ladybugs
all decorate their days
for flowers fairies to cheer

and love.
Sunshiny smiles
from every human child
as they chime along with the magic
of a flowers faeries call.

And then?
It all begins again.
For another spring winged creature
frets along the creek
saying when should I start planning for Winter
and oh when will Summer then end?
Tis such a pitiful rhyme
for a fairy counting time
and drumming up the courage to say
when is the last day
of Summer?

And oh, oh my
poor little fairies
poor little dears
Who only wanted their treasures
to last and last
forever.

Flower Fairies Garden Ornaments and Art Work in a Butterfly Garden, A Fantasy Fairies Call

Art work in butterfly garden.
What a lovely day.
Flower fairies garden ornaments
line my sidewalk.
I try to capture this moment
notice it is grand
put it inside my pocket
butterfly in a garden.

It is the moon that settles
brightly
bringing me my moods
just outside this window.
I think of my flower fairies
garden ornaments?
No.
Real and breathing friends to me.

The moon.
There is a part of me that fears its light
those unsettled plans
notations that I could have done better.
They keep me up at night.

Don't say one word.
Don't take her calls.
Whenever the crows approach
dye this fabric past mistakes
don't block out all those stars
do not settle for sequins
sewn inside your diary.

I will not settle for less
I will no longer listen
I will not entertain those moonlit tears.
Let them settle on the ground
mud dries eventually.
Salty tears will mingle with new rain
fresh new rain.

Outspoken fantasy fairies
remind me of colors
climbing vines reach up to the trees
beautiful wisteria.
Fantasy fairies smile
giggle sometimes
remind me how easy laughter comes
once you start to smile.

I look at all my gifts
flower fairies garden ornaments
art work in butterfly garden
laughter comes in cycles.
Moon step back and see me
let me step outside the shadows
or is it let me see myself?

I cherish the lines
the curves
the starts of new adventures
lead me none the less dear moon
despite all
I still rely on all your stories.
Flower fairies garden ornaments
art work in butterfly garden.
Laughter comes in cycles
yes
as do tears
inconvenient truths
and I most humbly resign to it all.
Tiny angels, fantasy fairies
sequins pinned to the moon
blessed changes
hear me call
dear goddess in me.

Garden Fairies - Find More Than Just Flower Fairies at the Bottom of the Garden!

There are many types of fairy, and garden fairies are just some of them. From flower fairies to tree spirits, the backyard can be an abundance of fairy activity, so long as the right setting is provided.

What Do Fairies Do in the Garden?

The most popular notion of fairy activity in the yard is that they look after the plants and help them grow. This is true, but at a far more complex level. There are fairies responsible for photosynthesis, others responsible for healthy roots, and others making sure the soil is fertile.

Now, the more skeptical reader might be wondering why all gardens are not botanical paradises if fairies take care of everything! The key issue is that fairies must have the right setting to work efficiently in - a chemical-filled or overgrown and unloved space is not somewhere a fairy wants to be. Similarly, if an area is owned by non-believers, this can damage a fairy's ability to look after plants too.

Other fairies found in the backyard take care of trees, birds, animals, water and the local weather.

How to Attract Fairies

The best way to keep fairies happy and abundant is to grow an organic, partly wild garden with lots of native flowers and secret places for both fairies and wildlife. Fairies love humans who take care of the precious planet, so the more Earth-friendly you are, the better!

Once I started working proactively with the fey, I found attracting garden fairies was no problem at all.
