And who were you, the handsome prince? I liked the way this little piece rolled along, coping with the shift from iambic to trochaic rhythm almost imperceptibly via the catalectic line 4 to a full bodied trochaic heptameter in line 5 and ending back on an iambic heptameter with a feminine ending. The internal rhyme, eye/lie, in line 2 is another nice touch.

A wonderful tale, beautifully told. I love reading storie originally told in olden times that are given a modern look and treatment. I too have my own version of this classic tale and others, told with an urban flavor. Great job.

Comment from Octavia
Very nicely metered poem. Also loved the slant rhyme eye/lie that kept it moving along.
I guess we all know women like her - graced by a beauty that gives her a "pass" - And she uses it to her advantage by willing males. Yet she really doesn't care. It's all a game and stays above the fray.
And comes out unscathed - (always a man who will willingly "bite".) lol
Well done!

So unusual yet beautiful, totally different from anything I expected. Absolutely and utterly beautiful this felt like being showered with rose petals from a great height- utterly beautiful and a true joy to read. I have become a fan! Love and kind regards Meia x
