Great fun! And I think 'canoodling' is a wonderful word, that has pretty well died around here. But I shall do my best to help resuscitate it, by introducing it regularly in casual conversation...

Re: Is your Wood in Wales? for I once wrote a book(unpublished) where a
Kabu I have a cousin in Wales he lives in an old forestry house by your wood. His garden was all slate so he dug it out and built a wall around the garden and refilled the ground with leaf mould and he has a good supply of horse manure. I am pleased to tell you that your sprite is still around of course it might be a descendant I have yet to make contact. As you know the watercourses change over the years but sprites are quite adaptable and I have heard that a little parcel of them was seen quite recently dipping their buckets into a dew-pond. It was amazing really because they no longer use silver buckets, but coloured plastic ones, I suppose one has to move with the times. Take care

Re: I like the poem, especially the last line: "put out the light."
Pat well it is only a bit of fun, we have so many man made problems, I just wish I was more careful with the copies, it is nice to just run it through the printer. Thank you

Re:
Well Justi I did know a village where many of the folk were probably interbred as they all had the same surname, so to distinguish them people added nicknames before
their surname and one was actually named after the wood.

I do declare that I was not from that place originally but since i've put on a pound or two i may have had a visit from one or two of them 'round here. I loved the poem. Of course all of it, but especially the poem. Be blessed.

Thank you, CC, for the words to your song. Now...can you give me the the music to these lyrics? Or do I adapt one of my own? It's for sure I have already memorized the thing - if I wait too long, it will just slip into something I'm humming already, and I'll be hard put to change it back over. LOL - love the Granny Green-bottom story!

Such romantic inferences can be drawn. As for the sprites, I've always heard of the little people, Leprechauns, and think of sprites as being almost the same as fairies. This visit into the magic wood is so much fun. :) 
Write on!

Is your Wood in Wales? for I once wrote a book(unpublished) where a
water sprite lives in the hills!This was back in the 15th century so maybe it is no longer there.
