The  Fairy's  Retribution.

 

Fairy lived in the forest and loved to fly.

Then one day she found she could fly no more and began to cry.

When her eyes did dry, she began wandering the forest in search of why.

She came across a talking hat, leather with brown dye.

Her only thought was oh my.

The hat said, "come nigh, I will tell you why you can no longer fly."

The fairy sat on a log close by.

"A mean witch took your ability to fly, she lives atop a tree very high.

"Be careful, this witch is mean and sly."

The fairy's' only reply, "Then she will have to die."

"And how will you do this," the hat tried to pry.

"I will poison her pie."

She pulled from her pocket a broken wand she had found in a field of rye.

She cast a spell pointing the wand toward the sky.

The fairy said to the witch, "bye, bye."

The mean witch ate the poisoned pie, yes she did die, and for her no one would ever cry.

did you mean come NIGHT?

I felt that you were rhyming just for the sake of rhyming. I feel that you could have made this a whole lot better, to be honest.

thanks zombie

nigh = near the hat says come near but yes i rhyme all the time. and to all this was suppose to be a short story but i'm lazy so i rhymed it. someone on yahoo answers asked for people to write a short story with a fairy who can't fly, a witch, a talking leather hat, a broken wand in a forest or on a beach. i wrote it in two hours and liked it. hey this could work for contests too i read the forums just havn't talked on them. anyway give items that have to be in the story then we write and get points. if this is good you may put it on the forum. yes i talk alot, get use to it.

Difficult

It's extremely hard to write anything when someone else controls the subject.

If you've more than one subject (as here) then that difficulty is multiplied. Tried writing a short story once for a magazine when they gave you the opening sentence. It was hell.

Hats off if you can do it. Good attempt and some people do rhyme all the time - the Welsh are buggers at it!

Keep talking.................

To my mind, the story was shaped more by the need to rhyme, which took some thought, but still limits it to being nonsensical. Ah well a bit of fun

I was cute and lighthearted. Wasn't the best thing I have ever read, but it wasn't the worst thing I have ever read neither. Rhyming is hard work so I commend you on that. I would break it up into stanzas though, make it easier on the human brain to process

hmm i just didn't really care for this. although i thought it was interesting how you were able to tell the story ending with the same rhyme. but the story itself wasn't that good in my opinion.

I feel by the fact that you kept the same rhyme through the whole poem was nice and the story was nice too so over all I liked it.

Yeah

I in aggreement with Dirkin, it seem that the whole story/poem revolved around the rhyming, which don't get me wrong, it a very hard task, but I felt it took something away from it all.

But then again, I have never wrote anything that rhymed, so thumbs up to you.

Wonderful. This is a charming piece of writing that I have read in recent times. One must always strive to strike a chord in a reader’s heart. You have achieved it in great measure. Good job. Keep it up. ;-)
