Celtic Princess.
Her locks were uncombed but she had not a care,
She knew her Queenly destiny was in being there.
Amber beads at her neck, dangling silver at wrists
The child tossed looks of disgust at he who teasingly
Kissed her cheek only two wild heartbeats before,
And now, as he strode forward she knew, core for
Core he could match her own birthright for pride.
She snatched back her hand before he could deride
Her by loud laughter at it's uncouth and dark stains.
This Prince knew well how able he was to lay blame
For unfit decorum on Cornishside maidenly pursuits.
The raw Celtic Warrior Princess appeared beautifully
Calm, yet under her girdle lurked fear of more strife
When, come womanhood she was to become his wife.

Hello Fay, I must say that this is one of the greatest creations ever created by you Fay.. The lines, diction and the images you have used in this poem, captivate the reader and take him in to another dimension. Loved reading this poem and specially loved the note in which you end the poem. (By the way, it is after some time that I logged in to PF and it is always nice to read your work Fay, love shan)

Ah, a poem full of the romance and grandeur and the chivalry and the light and romance that the very word 'Celtic' evokes

Regal, eloquent ,and i think i like it too...lol! This piece is quite unique in the regard of it creatively & effectively confluencing two starkly opposite styles....The vintage sweet smack of 17th century verse/prose....And the more modern day ,subtle sprinkling of free-verse....Primo Simpatico, my dear ! ~~~

Sounds like the start of an epic poem in the classical vein. Like it.

A beautiful scene presented with simplicity and economy: just the right elements elements are mentioned to bring to life an emotional and significant event in the life of a young princess, whose strength of character, self-restraint, and clear intuitions, are rendered in a few masterfully-written lines. The mostly two-beats-per-line rhythm of the lines make it sound, all in all, like a folk ballad. Great write! Thanks for sharing!

Lovely story verse, being a Celt myself, no not a prince, I let my princess escape. At the time I felt quite sad. Fay your imagination and variability of verse is wonderful, please keep on writing
