abuseThis is a cute little poem. At first I was slightly annoyed by the overuse of the words "blue" and "raindrops" but then I noticed that it adds something to the poem. This line is problematic: "As his saw the fairytale light" Do you mean he?

I wish there was more clarity as to what is actually going on in this poem... it seems like a sweet fairytale and I wish I could know more about it. :)

abuseMy only problem here is that you seemed to switch tenses almost without warning. It goes from 'he steps' from 'he stepped', something that managed to throw me off a little.

I like the ending, too, though it seems a little improbable even by 'fairytale' standards. I almost wanted some kind of conflict; I wanted a trace of the human-boy's amazement, some type of reaction to finding a fairy.

Keep writing!
