There’s something utterly timeless about a ballad—like an echo of ancient myths woven into melody.
I can almost hear the verses swelling, the cadence shifting between reverence and raw power. A song that doesn’t just tell of a ruler, but of a legend—one shaped by claw and crown, by wisdom and war. The kind of ballad sung in dim-lit halls and whispered in the dark, where the name of the beast king carries both fear and devotion.
Loved this take on the Beauty and the Beast. A beautifully written ballad, Maryellen. Thank you for taking the time to write it and participate in the poetry prompt!
Haha, I loved this! The rhythm and flow were perfect, I could practically hear someone singing it in my head! Truly impressive how you also told such a rich and cohesive story without ever breaking from the rhyme scheme. This was a really fun read!
7 is in choir & we have been a rhyming team for ages now. This was so fun to put together, and is bringing a new world into the light 🥰 thanks for reading it!
Loved this poetic retelling of Beauty and the Beast that had more of a focus on Beast and love's redeeming power!
Thank you so much.
GORGEOUS!!!!!!
