SLEEPING BEAUTY AWAKENS TO FATE Beauty shrouds its sovereign brilliance under extremes The oppressive Black Forest of fairy tale dreams Buried far below the palatial sunrise Dressed in farmer’s jeans, burrs in golden nest An orphaned princess plays, regality suppressed Godmothers ensure her fingers bleed no spindle cries Rose, cosseted from laughter - the lust, that hopes she dies Malificent doth yearn to steal her enemy's royal crest Mine ears hear music A sultry song of beauty O steed so strong ~ ride yonder Magnificent prince! My heart shudders ~ I’m frightened Sifting winds doth change my fate 4/20/2017 Laura Loo’s Three Style III Contest One couplet, One stanza, One sedoka A-A; A-B-B-A-A-B; 5-7-7-5-7-7

You protected the princess with clever lines. My favorite lines were, Mine ears hear music.....O steed so strong ~ ride yonder." And they lived happily ever after ;-)

Thank you, Chris! I am always so happy when you tell me so! I try to put myself in the place of the characters.
