I love how this is written, the rhythm is like the footsteps of fairies, light and lyrical.

'But later he grieved for the wrongs he had done,

For the friends he had hurt or had lost.

And the fairies would nod in agreement and sigh,

As the flowers grew brittle with frost.'

This verse in particular really caught on something within me.

Another beautiful poem. Like others have commented, the rhyme scheme here is so fun, light, and beautiful and really fun to read aloud. The story is a sad, truthful one that resonates and is another beautiful addition to your growing anthology. Great job Daniel.
