Nice quest, we elves, sorceress, cursed sister, monsters, and then justice is being done and the bad sorceress is going to be banished and punished in a second:"
The mighty Elf Queen set scouts out to find,
the sorcerer who'd cursed young Emmaline.
So, he no longer could do others harm,
Kingdom to Kingdom, she spread the alarm.
" Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

    Hi..thank you for this wonderful review. You probably think I'm someone else because of the hero character's name. I actually don't have and grandchildren yet and used the name of a young fellow Fanstory writer who has a lot of enthusiasm. Thank you again for this positive review. :)

Excellent fantasy story poem, I really enjoyed it! "Now all is happy in the castle keep,/for Emmaline is no longer asleep." Of course, a perfect ending as well. Thanks for sharing.

Such imagination and magic went into the writing of this poem. This is definitely a poem I would love to read to children as it is engaging and possesses a certain level of wonderment for young and old alike. Love it! Great job!

This epic fantasy has all the classic elements of a hero's quest. The gallant Greyson seeks water from a magic fountain on Tower Mountain and must fight a monster to get it. He rescues her in the nick of time. I will never be a fan of AABB rhyming, but I did enjoy your tale. Rod

Oh, Knight in shining armor you did write free and save the damsel in duress. You charger the monster with a blade and true to heart an Elf Queen sang soft melodies that soothe the monster to sleep. Good story, author. :) This is a good entry for the Epic Fantasy Story Poem Contest. Thank you for sharing.
Before I forget, in the second stanza, "knew that truth that Emmaline,"?

The knight rescues the damsel in distress... midst monsters and evil wizards and even an elf queen - yep, I'd say you have the 'epic fantasy' nailed! You have a good rhyme scheme to your tale, but your rhythm tends to stumble in spots... Thanx for sharing and good luck in the contest! ;)

he has no choice --> he had no choice

not along as you --> not alone as you

gone,he's doomed --> gone, he's doomed

A very good story in poetic form. I don't what other contest entries there will be, but I can tell this will not be easily bested. The story flowed well, and the rhymes and near rhymes read effortlessly. The sorcerer losing his power, did come without warning or reason though.

Well done and good luck.

    You are absolutely right! What was I thinking? Of course the Elf Queen will take care of this. Check back later and let me know what you think. Thank you for helping me improve my poem. :)
