- Q - Words Poetry Contest

Sponsored by: Constance La France

1st place in the contest

* In one place at the roots of Yggdrasil 
was a fair fountain called the Urdarwell 
- Norse Myths

- Queen -

                         Queen awoke from her moonlight dreams
                    Urdarwell her source of wisdom in tiny mouthfuls
                      Every noble drop has a meaning for her future
                  Earth's defender counts days spent in love and peace
                    Nightingale, bless the merry little bird that sings
