One of the cool things about trolling through the world of blogs is that I always discover new and interesting things. Over at Lavender Lines, I came across this contest at the Merry Sisters of Fate. The challenge is to write something inspired by this picture. So ... deep breath.... I am. And even if nothing happens, I am bravely putting a poem out there, for anyone to see. here goes.....
High upon this drowsy pedestal,
I wait, drifting dreamlessunder your stifling canopy.
How is it that you can only love me
bruised?
If I pass this test,
I dare to wonder --
will you fold me into your
thorned arms,
draw me down
into a single bed
to drown me
in your fevered dreams.
the picture is "The Princess and the Pea" by Edmund Dulac.

Princess and the Pea is my favorite childhood story. Love that picture.
Love the story. I've always thought that was a weird way to determine a wife's suitability.
Thanks for the visit!
