YOu begin with the question and I think you need to just clarify a bit within the article--what your tag line indicates.
My review has been submitted for consideration in "
Wow. This is a cool crossword and really tests our knowldege of Marvel Comics! I failed! LOL It has been a while since I have delved into that world and only really know of the more common heroes. LOL I am glad you added villains too.
You could add a bit of colour or 
you could decorate it up and add some colour to make it pop even more. 
pics for fun! 
Your title and tagline were evocative and drew my attention on the Read A Newbie page. The idea of "consuming" is a potent one and you have vividly shown the effects of the emotion. 
The voice has a potent vibe as you draw the reader into your vision. The last verse gives a hope that one has the power to fight.

Guess whose fantasy item popped up on the Random Reads as I was flitting here and there to party? Yay! Yours and it has fairies who are favourites of mine so..I had to read about your Fairy Kingdom! 
The tale begins with vivid action and sets up the conflict and two main characters in the first paragraph. You also clued us in to the fact of the girl's loneliness, which also turns out to be a problem. I wanted to know what the warning sound for fairies was. 
I was charmed by the fairies and Miranda as they performed their mission.
Now I must away and leave this fair land of Ons, and not give away any secret of the tresaure to be found here. I will, fer sure, be passing this around to me mates as I travel! 
Or Review fer a ticket!
Spruce it up and enter it into the "
The descriptions were vivid and I could feel his vibe as his family was killed and he struggles with the life he has now--the indecision of whether he was lucky or not. I liked when he did the samba to feed the boy. Clever image!
A few suggestions though I am not a pro:
You narrate the tale with great detail so I could really visualize the events and things like the cat menagerie and castle. It is amazing to beable to show the scenes and explain the chaos so effectively. 
I like how you spread the events of life with the possum over several years using evocative subtitles! The events you chose were so vivid. I had to laugh at the night in the kitchen!! Unbelievable. 
And the day he curled up at your feet as if to say good bye is so heartwarming!
The writing is coherent and the voice is consistent to the end. The emotional intensity changes with each event and I could enter into the scenes with ease. I do notice you use "ly" adverbs, which seem to be not favoured now though I know what they mean. LOL You did use maybe too many at once in paragraph 12. 
The plot line was clear and the tension rose increasingly til the end. The setting at a future time was well shown in the buildings, gadgets and thoughts of the main character as he observes the world on the speed of light train. I really enjoyed the futuristic atmosphere where certain taboos are passee yet other ones rose to replace them as in the aging one. 
I hope our world never comes to this! You lose, or lose. 
The idea of a saga was appealing and using the sonnet form intriguing! 
I like how you begin in a lighthearted way and get the anticipation of the carver. The punctuation in the last line of verse one is effective and it makes it seem like we are hanging on... and unexpected happens. Good call.
In the line "She held her hands..." it feels like the word "as" might be needed between "into the air" and "leaves" as it doesn't make sense without a word there. I also wanted to drop the "and" and begin a new line with "One yellow leaf" to give it the potency. It seems like a vital fact in the storyline here.
I enjoyed the way she discovered the leaves and the power of colours and the shock of what happens to the cat. Sad. You showed her shock vividly in her reaction.
If you wanted to spruce it up, I wonder how many other words for "like" you could find to make each task you perform alone, appear more vibrant..rather than just the rather over used word "like". Just something I thought about. Not sure how it would be though. 
In the third line the word "were" is spelled "where" for a place as opposed to the the verb "were".
Thanks for sharing this evocative poem that made me ponder. I am curious about more details now. 
Wow! This is a potent and vivid expression with clear image of this hunted woman and shows the essence of a time when healers, or magical types were deemed witches. Very dramatic in tone with good details. I like the personification of the goddess and tree. Powerful idea.
Some glitches in spelling/grammar that I noticed: 
I noticed a couple of typos: In the first line : "awoken" should be "awoke". and in the last line "iea" needs to be "idea".
