Where the Wisps Wander

Beware of the Faerie Realm

Where the Wisps Wander

Another foot inside the mushroom ring

Bellow loudly under the canopy

Creatures of dreams and nightmares

Dance to the beat of sticks and fists

"Eat, human, eat!"

Feast upon the faerie food and wine

Gone is your worries and gone is the

Hum drum of daily life

Inside out and upside down

Jiggle and wiggle beneath the full moonlight

Keep dancing, don't falter

Least you lose a hand or foot

Mischief and Malice is our middle name

No breaks for a fast, don't you know, the

Olden ones are here with gold

Pitter and Patter have so many feet

Quietly, they run to you and give you a spin

'Round you go and slip in the mud

Savor the taste of your own blood

Tomorrow will come, but you won't see it

Unusual happenings

Visit 'fore the dawn

Welcome, stupid human

Xyloid coal eyes and dagger-like teeth

Yawn your last breath for

Zealous is he who feasts on souls

About the Creator

Sarah Glass

It started with FFX fanfiction stories and my love for creating a world to escape to when reality's teeth sank in too deep. I'm an artist, a dreamer, and I have an original story I've been working on for 8yrs. Time to get it published!

    This is lovely! Really reminded me of the bit in The Hobbit when they're lost in the Mirkwood.
