The Princess Bride (as you wish)

A farm boy and a maiden, fair
One ignored while the other cared
Their only meeting was when she cried
"As you wish" was the boy's reply

As if a switch turned one day in the field
The girl's hidden feeling was promptly revealed
Years went by, so close they grew
Until separated by the act of a fool

As luck would have it, the boy had to go
Off to war; his greatest foe
Rumor got back to the worrisome girl
Her man had died; the light of her world

She was sent off to marry another
Until she was saved by her estranged lover
So happy was she, her hope was found
In her tear-stained dress, she danced around

All would be perfect if troubles would pass
But there was a prince of higher class
He wanted the beautiful girl as his own
So he stole her to sit beside his throne

The girl cried out "someone save me from this!"
In the distance she faintly heard "As...you...wish!"
Her true prince came to save her once more
But he did not know just what was in store

His body was tortured inside and out
And his soul had started to crumble and doubt
As his hope was running dry
He finally escaped with his head held high

The boy and the girl were reunited
No one could believe they were ever divided
Many days later she asked for some bread
"As you wish" was all he said

She looked at him, frowning ever so slightly
Saying "why don't you ever tell me you love me?"
"I do," he said, and gave her a kiss
"I do, when I say 'As You Wish'"

-----------------------------
this is kind of a narration of the book, but not really...its got some of the plot in it, but the main idea is the "as you wish" meaning "i love you"

àJust Ella
This poem was well written, I was drawn in at the very beginning and I stayed all the way through, even in length when it started to give out, I was drawn right back in. the words were simple, yet held so much emotion. Great work.

àThe Talisman: The Curse of the Coin
You had put the poem together well, and had stuck with the pattern all the way through, they rhyme scheme drew me in even more. The words you had repeated were repeated well, and each time I read it I found something new. You are an excellent writer. Great work.

àThe Da Vinci Code
you had a good start with this poem, but as you read on it seemed become less and less interesting. There wasn’t anything catchy to recapture my attention.

à The Tomorrow Series- John Marsden
{After we had left Hell after camping} this line threw off the beat of the poem. It had no flow and I had to read it a few times. Before I could continue. You made a good recovery and it drew me back in. good ending, tied up the story well.

àCandy
This poem had perfect flow. It painted a picture into my head and drew me in so quickly, the ending was well also. Great tie up to the poem. Wonderful Job

à Just Listen
this was a good read. I was really into it and read it a few times over. It works for the book and so many other people can relate to this poem as well… great work.

à Twilight
This poem was well written. The book is actually on my desk right no I have been waiting to judge the contest before I read it. Back to your poem. (Suppressed by his loving Yet torn by his pride.) I think you should get rid of the last his. Having his two times in a row at the end throws off the poem a bit. And with out it, there is more of a complete feeling. Otherwise good work.

à My Sisters Keeper
Well done. This was a deep and meaningful poem. I’m actually sorta at a loss for words. There is nothing to improve. And nothing needing change.

à The Princess Bride (as your wish)
another well written poem. I skipped to the last two verses when I was in the middle wanting to know how it ended… but then went back and read it all… lol … well as I was saying, this poem well planned out. And had so much meaning in it. Good work J

All these poems were wonderful reads and I will most likely read the books of these now. J great work everyone.
