Light and Shadows

For the Sonnet of Shadows Challenge

By Reb KreylingPublished about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read

Glittering wings fly high into the sky

Fairies dance with birds, flittering and flirting

There’s no time to be shy, they need to fly

Oh! There’s a dive, solid wings just skirting

*

Cold and dark, mists of unknown, curl around

Touching, holding, grabbing, they want to befriend

By the decisions they made, they are bound

They tempt you, tease you, what do they intend?

*

Twitters and giggles and sounds of great glee

Contrast with the howls and crashing yells

The fairies fly up to the highest tree

While the demons clang the orchestral bells

*

Despite all their differences, they share the space

Trying their best to corrupt the human race
