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
The Wizard and the Warlord - The Wardstone Trilogy-Book III** is the gripping conclusion to the epic fantasy trilogy that M. R. Mathias wrote in a Texas prison. This compelling volume brings the elves, dwarves, giants, and the dragons into the story
The ancient kings of Whitehawk were all too aware of the temptation of magic. They could feel its threat, a presence in their courts, a serpent slithering at their feet, even entering into their beds.
