    An explicit fairy tale as fine as your previous four. Reminding me of the Celtic love of mystisism and challenging love. Always wrested from a beauteous comfort in all of their tales to quest to save the words.
    The fantastic creatures are spendorous in their part!

    Fantastic. Everything was tied in at the end, and you did a wonderful job of using graphic war scenes then transitioning them to this wonderfully beautful ending which commenced in gorgous imagery and skillful romantic recites.
    You were able to summerize everything perfectly so it stayed to the storyline while recommencing the former events, but I do say that I was sad to hear it end because it left me wanting more.
    about my comments on parts I, 2, 3, 4 about the "power-bower" rhyming scheme, I see now how you were tying in that with the last line,
    "The Lady's rapturous release wrought in Her destined bower."
    And you did it so well becuase when i read it it was like a light bulb went on, "oh! now I get it" haha yes, so i feel silly, but nevertheless, this was a fantastic piece of art you managed to produce, though it wasn't your usual style and it proved a worthy and excellent read! Well done

    Thank you greatly, ladies! I am very honored by your words.

    And I'm glad you caught the power/bower thing, Pinkalias. Outside of the plot line, it was what I was hoping to tie each poem together, with each canto having a bit different take on the use of the words. And I always foresaw ending the final poem with those two, though I did not know what the exact wording of the final couplet would be.

    Very glad you two enjoyed the finale. And I hope to put all of them together soon and repost as a complete Cycle.

    By the way, I almost forgot... inspired by the Celtic poetic cycles (not saying I'm that good at it, but just that I was inspired by them), I've attempted various poetic cycles over the years (unfortunately not since my teens). Some of posted on this site, but unfortunately I never received very many comments on them.

    The other poetic cycles here:

    The Mistborne Cycle
    The Hunt Cycle

    Lastly there are the two parts of Laryssa's Tale, though this is not quite in the same vein as the other two cycles, to say the least. Regardless, if you feel up to it, by all means please comment on them. I'd love to hear any critique you might have.

    Well, I tried posting the entire Cycle and unfortunately it had too many lines. :(

    You are a wonderful poet. Ravishing, sleek, and imaginative.
