In Arpiar the roses bloom
Yet all is cast in deepest gloom
For the king he seeks his daughter
To sacrifice her in slaughter
In Arpiar the roses bloom
A princess weaves upon a loom
One asks her name, a mindless Boy
One the king uses as a toy
In Arpiar the roses bloom
Far away in the Dragon's room
A princess sits upon a throne
Surrounded by many a bone
The moon she bleeds
The lion pleads
But not for deeds
The lion dies
The goblin cries
A star it flies
In Arpiar a Rose still blooms
The Prince has stated all their dooms
The Rose so Red who twice was veiled
Is now the queen of the un-veiled
Yet all is cast in deepest gloom
For the king he seeks his daughter
To sacrifice her in slaughter
In Arpiar the roses bloom
A princess weaves upon a loom
One asks her name, a mindless Boy
One the king uses as a toy
In Arpiar the roses bloom
Far away in the Dragon's room
A princess sits upon a throne
Surrounded by many a bone
The moon she bleeds
The lion pleads
But not for deeds
The lion dies
The goblin cries
A star it flies
In Arpiar a Rose still blooms
The Prince has stated all their dooms
The Rose so Red who twice was veiled
Is now the queen of the un-veiled

I loved this poem, Rebekah! You did a really good job :). ~Savannah P.
I loved the retelling of the story of Moonblood in this form! The rhyming made it song-like, and the theme of what is truly beautiful rang true. Wonderful!
Lovely poem. Tells the story of Moonblood wonderfully.
Oh, well done, Stargazer! :D
Thank you so much guys! :)

Oh nice! This is lovely, and moves along smoothly. I especially like the last stanza! Perfect way to say it!
This is beautiful, Rebekah! It sounds like a tale sung by bards far in the future, singing ballads of times long ago to the children by the fireside. Beautifully done! :D
