Fairy Fallacy

For SHADOWSHOT SUNDAY


FAIRY FALLACY

The rumble of the city, the concrete and the tar,
The chatter of the passers-by, the roar of coach and car.
Yet something straight from Fairyland is there before our eyes.
Surely fairy castles seem to rise.
*
It could be just the railway station roofs  just to my right,
But fairies live in shadow-land, usually out of sight.
Place flags upon the turrets, let elfin trumpets sound!
The Fairyland of childhood has been found!
*
(Unfortunately, it's about to be shattered by a car!
Oh well! Just put up with it! You know what humans are!)

    Nice poem. Those shadows are so sharp and clear they really are like a kingdom of their own. Lovely.
