Novella DeVil

(To be sang to the tune of "Cruella DeVil" 
   from Disney's 101 Dalmatians)

Novella DeVil. Novella DeVil.
She writes to humour,
To move and to thrill.
She stirs her readers feelings
With her Quill.
Novella. Novella.
She stirs her readers feelings
With her Quill.
Novella. Novella DeVil.

On the surface 
She is quite a shy one.
Yet, through her works
She reaches out to you.
You'll look into her eyes
And you will wonder why
She's worn a cloak called "Fear"
Her whole life through!

The time will arrive
When she'll realise 
The cloak doesn't shield her
But it cramps her style.
She'll throw away her fear
And she will shine.
Novella. Novella Devine.

Novella DeVil. Novella DeVil.
She writes to humour,
To move and to thrill.
She stirs her readers feelings
With her Quill.
Novella. Novella DeVil.

Dear Natasha, your tribute to Novella DeVil is a captivating blend of homage and encouragement. I really loved how the playful adaptation of "Cruella DeVil" infuses the poem with whimsy,. Novella's ability to touch hearts through her writing is beautifully captured, highlighting the transformative power of storytelling. Your words show us that beneath the surface, a wealth of untapped potential is often waiting to be unleashed. This delightful reflection—it's a testament to the magic of creativity and courage. - Blessings, Daniel
