Wish-Elf

I traveled cross fairy-land
Searching near and far
Till I caught a wish-elf
In a crystalline jar.

I calmed its disquietude,
And bade its heart be still.
I released the spritely charm
To offer my good will.

We perused one another,
But not for too long.
Aloft on iridescent wings,
It spoke in a song,

“You now have three wishes,
Just as the tale is told,
Be wise in your choices,
Make them strong, make them bold.”

“I wish that you could give me
A more giving soul.”
“Alas, a wish is not enough
To make your spirit whole.”

“I wish my journey brings me
A new friend, good and true.”
“I will not sway another’s heart
To suit only you.”

“Quite fair you have been,
I wish you well on your way.”
“Then, as told, your wishes three
Are granted on this day.”

Very very nice. I really liked this. You are quite talented.

Thank you for your comment. I think my strongest talent is the patience to spend many hours getting every word and line right and ready.

A delightfully rhymed poem. I wish to see more. Is this granted?

Beautiful. It's somehow wistful to me. I really liked the flow of words and rhyme. You have a way with imagery also. Really well done.

I love the narrative in this. It's pretty fun to read.
