A faerie and a nymph were wed,
sweet wedding in a flower bed
where swans looked on with winsome eyes
and jade-like fauns gave startled cries.
Great crystal fountains burst with joy
as faerie girl wed fine nymph boy
and all enchantment sang such bliss
to see the fay ones wed and kiss.
Faerie wonder, gold will capture
this fine scene so filled with rapture...
a brooch to wear here by my heart
where faerie, nymph will never part.
I saw your wedding in a dream...
White swans floated in a stream
while jaded fauns did there abide
and all of nature smiled and sighed.

The sweet innocence of this poem made me happy. The graphic was also a nice touch. The only criticism I have is in line 14 where you've rhymed stream and dream. For some reason this didn't flow well to me and the use of great somewhat took away from the elegance of your poem. But those are just my thoughts, and you are welcome to do with them what you like. I still loved it though! :]

I like Melodies of the heart. Its good to cross paths with you again. We tend to always do well at what we love. The Fairie World is still a wonderful place to spend time. Your poem is filled with active, joyful images.

Not sure what you mean by Jade-like fawns, though a green fawn would look pretty cool.
Otherwise, so neatly done. So magical and sweet. It's always nice to start a morning with some good rhymes. Sorry you didn't place in the contest. Keep writing.
