David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

5/11/2026 for Mantis As The Celestial Madonna Poetry Contest sponsored by Robert James Liguori

The Celestial Madonna

Children, today, we talk of history,
hoping to unravel the mystery
of girl named Mantis, an ancient prophecy,
and her enigmatic destiny.
She would be the Celestial Madonna,
enter the Cotati, who seek nirvana.
In comes Swordsman, prophecy achieved -
The Celestial Messiah is conceived.
Threats from Kree and Skrulls would cease,
and the Cotati would find peace.
