BLOWN AWAY by the epic, elegant, and darker tones coupled with such adorable imagery and uplifting moments. It's so full of heart-racing adventure and whimsy!
The first verse, "Thy namesake's death near-drowned her love in grief / So he enshrined her in a marble tomb" especially, is stunning, your wording is gorgeous!
"But you, O nine-lived Princess, can't be quenched By far-flung journeys, not through time nor space. However chastised, scared, bedraggled, drenched You land upon your paws, with haughty face."
and
"Your proud demeanor shall remain the same: You'll pounce, and preen, and strut upon all fours."
Had me clapping, it's soooooo cute, and so well-written!! I am FULL of glee, what an excellent poem, you're incredible!! Thank you so much for writing and sharing this!
