Fantastic Ron. This reads like the poems my dad used to read to me when i was a kid... it rolls right along with wonderful momentum. I love the action and pace of it. And the vengeful nature of retribution. Forgiveness is for sooks. A real morality tale. I bet you had fun inventing it as you went.

Pen pal: I'm sure that you are getting loads of stars for
your clever poem, rhymes and photo. There are many
bad fathers that send their kids to boarding schools instead
of spending time with their children. Seems like she didn't
have friends or school. We all need love and attention. He
lost many years of bonding with his daughter. Maybe, he was
a party boy. You lured us with descriptions and suspence.
Enjoy your precious family. flylikeaneagle

Thank you so much for the excellent review and big sixer, Flylikeaneagle. Yes, there are many parents out there neglecting their kids. That's what I wanted to get across as to why she was so bitter. I really appreciate the gracious stars. I'm glad you liked my lengthy piece. Have a great day and thank you again.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
What a lovely story in a poem, beautifully told with a very happy ending with the princess finally breaking free from her 'jail' with the help of the magician. They fall in love and rule as king and queen. Really lovely! Good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xx

Comment from humpwhistle
My congratulations on a very ambitious and entertaining tale.
A true Idyll.
My only problems are a few changes of tense that seem favor rhyme.
Perhaps another read, with this in mind, might help you put things into proper alignment.
Best of luck.
Peace, Lee

Thank you for the great review, Lee. Yeah, I know I jumped back and forth between tenses. Mainly to make it fit. Plus, I'd work on it after I got home from work and was tired. I'm sure that had some bearing on it as well. I appreciate the generous stars, Lee. Thank you. I'm glad you liked the piece.

Comment from LIJ Red
When that witch and warlock got loose, the result was just what the king expected, hundreds of loyal knights slaughtered , the government overturned and an absolute dictatorship established in blood and fire...
such is the way of sorcery...excellent rhyming story poem...

Comment from LyndaS
Your artwork and title of this piece hooked me in before I read one word of this. Love the meter here and the story is solid throughout. My favorite line is "Welcome child, at last we finally meet." You do a great job of keeping the narrative rolling and it runs like honey. Very visual and descriptive. Killer tale of fantasy. Well done! Good luck in the vote. Lynda

Thank you so much for the excellent review and gracious sixer, Lynda. That's one of my favorite lines too. The picture helped inspire the piece. I dearly appreciate the big sixer. I'm glad you liked my lengthy tale. Have a great rest of your weekend. Thank you again.
Comment from RodG
This narrative poem will appeal to all ages. What a good job you have done to (1) characterize the princess who has endured neglect and loneliness, (2) characterize the sorcerer who helped her gain the throne, (3) describe the action as she uses the power to subdue the knights her father uses to oppose her, and (4) to maintain that aura of fantasy. I also like how you employed the ballad (4/3/4/3) stanzato tell your tale. Well done! Rod
