'After he Stumbled into Annwn' is another poem in the Rhiannon-Epona sequence, this time featuring Pwyll, Rhiannon's first husband - a mortal. It concerns his visit to the court of Arawn one of the central stories to be found in the Welsh text The Mabinogion (Mabinogi).
See also a useful summary of the Rhiannon legend/myth up at the 'Goddess Gift' site. Likewise, it is worth listeniing to/watching this brilliant performance of Fleetwood Mac's retelling of the story on stage in 1976 - go to Rhiannon (song) by Fleetwood Mac.
A most impressive poem Ian. Done well and holding my interest throughout. The only complaint I have is in the first few lines. I'm afraid that queen-sized bed were totally nonexistent in the age you are trying to portray. Even the wealthy in that age would sleep on beds where the linens were stuffed with soft hay and fragrant herbs. That was if you were rich. Most roofs at best were thatched and there were always many small insects and animals living in them. That's why those beds with covers on top of them evolved. The tops were meant to shelter the occupants from the droppings and other trash generated by the things living in the roof.
A great poem and I hope this information helps you improve it. Bob
